The Mulberry Wing
Is it summer or fall? There has been an unusual amount of frontal activity and good weather nights have been hard to come by. Oh, I did get one not too exciting night in at Jamaica Bay. Therefore, I'm still dipping into the Litchfield trip. As I browsed the files, this one looked like an interesting selection. I didn't dawn on me when I saw this in the field, but this is one I had never seen before. It's a White--headed Prominent (Symmeriata albifrons), from the family Notodontidae and it was photographed June 20.
