jamesreilly's Identifications

it was chilly -- but this struck me as kind of odd behavior. is this bad-form twig camouflage ... or evidence of a pathogen?

I observed both the emerald shade and spring shade of this moth on the sheet at the same interval.

S.congrua; tibiae and tarsi will be solid white laterally, bordered by solid black medially along the interior of the tibiae/tarsi with a clear demarcation and no banding on tarsi.

Found this moth laying eggs early at dawn

Pearl St., To light at night in a residential area.

Not sure about this one photo isn't sharp, but there is definitely a notch in the inner angle of the forewing. PM line fades towards costal margin.
