Nije neuobičajeno moljac, ali istaknuti izgleda jedan. Ovo je Catocala udarac (Erebidae) ((nekad sovice)), a hrani pregršt Oaks. On je došao u moje svjetlo preko vikenda u Southern Illinois, dolje na stazi suza Država šuma. Kao i kod mnogih drugih moljaca široko rasprostranjena vrsta ima određeni broj varijacija koje mogu ispasti da se razlikuje – u tijeku monografiju o vrstama…
Sada sam sjedinjen pregršt lijepih moljac slika tako da očekujem još u ponedjeljak moljce! (iako je to petak moljac).
How can I resist a post title such as yours? A monograph? Whom, pray-tell, might be publishing such a useful work? =)
Ignoring the otherwise very moth-y appearance of your highlighted moth, in isolation, it’s antennae would certainly have me scratching my head when going through my VERY crude “moth-or-butterfly” examination. Tako, are the tips of the antennae the same width as the rest, generally, no bulb or some such? And feel free to edify if I’m off base. =) I know if I see feathered I think moth, and if I see a bulb or other larger-then-rest-of-antennae blob at the terminus, I think butterfly. Can you clarify/correct/confirm that and apply to this individual?
Hvala, and looking forward to subsequent posts.
ugh, WHO, not whom. pardon. =)
