Southern Strays on the Spit...


I'd been out on Toronto Island the day I found out about the above moth. In fact, my main reason for trudging out there was to look, and hope, for such a rarity. You see, when the weather has been so good for southern immigrants it seems that anything might be possible. Anyway, I failed in my quest, though I did come up with two Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moths, which would have been amazing had I not seen a whole bunch down at Mary's place a few days earlier!!

Anyway, upon arriving home and checking my e-mails I noticed a message from Seabrooke Leckie of TTPBRS which a series of photos of moths she had jarred for me from the night before. I couldn't belive it! One was the stunning Small Mocis featured above! A much wanted lifer and incredible rarity up here in Ontario. I think there may only have been two records before this one. What a way to end this amazing warm spell purple patch...


Another nice migrant was this Velvetbean Caterpillar Moth. I'd been expecting this one because they can appear in numbers in such periods of migrant activity. However, I'd not seen or heard of any until this one. Actually, there were two but this was the freshest looking. Quite a nice-looking moth I'd say.

Whatever next...
