Oh no, not another springtime moth...
OK, not quite so pretty as The Infant featured on yesterday's blog, the Spring Cankerworm Moth is nonetheless rather attractive in a cryptic sort of way. I like the fine black lines on the ashy-grey backdrop. It is quite common in southern Ontario and is on the wing between late March to early May. The larvae feed on a wide variety of deciduous trees and shrubs and can be a pest at times.
A fine study of Paleacrita vernata, The Spring Cankerworm Moth. This individual was found clinging the the wall of a friend's house here in downtown Toronto. Now, why can't I get it on my yard list?
