A darker shade of Distinct Quaker...

A much darker Distinct Quaker from the one caught yesterday with blackish shading around the orbicular and renifrom spots. I wasn't aware that there was so much variation within this species. Fascinating no? The larvae of this species feed mostly on maple and grape.


A rather typical example of Speckled Green Fruitworm Moth, the only other macro in the trap last night. I did catch a couple of new tortrix species but have yet to identify them. Takes time you know, but one does one's best...

Anyway, where are you all? There was a time when I had faithful readers who actually sent comments to my blog. As silly as some of them undoubtedly were I kinda liked them...
