Pink-shaded Fern Moth (Callopistria mollissima) caterpillar.
|
The next day, it had changed color.
|
Unicorn Caterpillar (Family Notodontidae, Schizura unicornis) shortly after a molt.
|
The next day, busy feeding (on Shadbush, I think). Great brown-edge leaf damage mimic.
|
Caterpillar sheltering in a leaf it has curled and fastened with silk. (On the same host plant as the Unicorn Caterpillar.)
|
The next day, it was out and feeding.
|
A Sphinx Moth caterpillar (Family Sphingidae, perhaps the Blinded Sphinx (Paonias excaecatus) or something closely related to it.)
|
Collecting off a lit white tablecloth on August 19th was disappointing. Not more than half a dozen moths and a few misc beetles and crane flies. Even then, most of the action was well after midnight.
|
An Emerald (Family Geometridae; Subfamily Geometrinae).
|
A paler specimen, probably the same species of Emerald.
|
A homopteran. (Fulgoridae?)
|
This spider dropped in to see what could be captured near the light.
|
The next night, the sheet attracted even fewer insects so I abandoned collecting.
