A Fortnight of Night Moths - Part II

A crazy month of weather - a tropical heatwave surrounded by two polar vortexes.  In the middle, there was a flurry of moth activity around the garage light at night.  Once again, I am amazed at the variety of moths (and other critters) that are out and about while we are inside either sitting by the woodstove or wishing for air conditioning...

Marsh Dagger Moth (Acronicta insularis)


Hitched Arches Moth (Melanchra adjuncta)


Red-fringed Emerald Moth (Nemoria bistriaria)


Virginian Tiger Moth (Spilosoma virginica)
