Pondělí Moth

I’ll keep the ball rolling with Arctiinae and post a photo today of Ctenucha brunnea. To můra může být obyčejný v vysoké trávě podél pláží ze San Francisca do Los Angeles – although in recent decades the numbers of this moth have been declining with habitat destruction and the invasion of beach grass (Ammophila arenaria). But anywhere there are stands of giant ryegrass (Leymus condensatus) you should find dozens of these moths flying in the heat of the day or nectaring on toyon.
