The Mulberry Wing
Looking back at the MOWs for this year, I only see Noctuids. Why's that? Well, there are more of them than any other group. And coming up with an ID is often more immediately possible than, say, micros. The number 2 group in temperate North America are the geometers. So get one that is new for a site list and is easily identified and you have an MOW winner. Shown here is a  Four-spotted Itame (Itame coortaria), photographed June 22 at Jamaica Bay's Floyd Bennet Field, in Kings co.
