不是一种罕见的蛾, 但一位杰出的寻找. This is 伊利亚Catocala (蚯蚓科) ((以前夜蛾)), 它助长了一把奥克斯. 它进入了我的光上周末在南伊利诺伊, 倒在眼泪国家森林步道. As with so many other moths this widespread species has a number of variations which may turn out to be distinct – 待一本专着的品种…
我现在已经存入银行了一把漂亮的蛾图像，希望有更多的周一飞蛾! (尽管这是一个星期五的蛾).
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. 所以, 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?
谢谢, and looking forward to subsequent posts.
ugh, WHO, not whom. pardon. =)
