Eric the half-a-wing...

And apologies to anyone out there who is not a Monty Python fan!

Well, they jusy keep coming. Only one moth in the trap and another new one for the back yard list. This time it was Phigalia titea, The Half-Wing. Was in immaculate condition and sat very nicely for the obligatory photo-shoot.


The Half-Wing is fairly common in Ontario, but is rarely encountered because of its early and relatively short flight period. I hadn't seen this geometrid for a few years so was well pleased with this one. The food plants include American basswood, American elm, blueberry, hickories, maple, oaks and poplars.

Compared to the Small Phigalia of a few days ago, The Half-Wing is markedly larger with bold, crisp blackish lines and speckling.

Not many birds this morning. Singing Ruby-crowned Kinglets and White-throated Sparrows and not a lot else...
