Weekly Moths
This will be my first journal post, so may be somewhat of an experiment. It seems that having a weekly summary of the new moths could be a good idea for journaling. I am keeping a tally of moths seen for the year. It would have been a good idea to start the journaling at the same time. However, since I did not, I'll just include new moths for the year seen over the past week. For the purpose of consistency, I'll define a week as local Sunday through Saturday. So we're already into the next week. Moths seen this week are:
- Archips argyrospila
- Archips grisea
- Archips semiferana
- Argyrotaenia quercifoliana
- Blastobasis sp.
- Clepsis peritana
- Clepsis virescana
- Cobubatha dividua
- Costaconvexa centrostrigaria
- Cyclophora nanaria
- Dichomeris ligulella
- Eupithecia sp.
- Gretchena bolliana
- Hypena scabra
- Idia americalis
- Melipotis indomita
- Nematocampa resistaria
- Nomophila nearctica
- Orthonama obstipata
- Panopoda carneicosta
- Parapediasia teterrellus
- Symmetrischema striatella
- Tripudia quadrifera
- Udea rubigalis
I suppose I should add something interesting. I've noticed that Orthonama obstipata sometimes rests with wings held out flat and sometimes with them raised . I'm curious about this behavior but have not researched it yet. I'm including an observation of each, mostly to test out that feature.
