   What a wonderful array of moths Jochen Möhr is finding in Metchosin!  Here are a few more.  We thank Libby Avis for identifications.

    The first is a “Cat” – i.e a member of the large genus Catocala of large, spectacular “Underwing” moths, many of which are frustratingly difficult to identify.  This one may be C. semirelicta, but for safety I’m going to label it just Catocala sp.

Catocala sp. (Lep.: Erebidae – Catocalinae)  Jochen Möhr

Iridopsis emasculata (Lep.: Geometridae)  Jochen Möhr

Lacinipolia sp. (probably pensilis)  (Lep.: Noctuidae)  Jochen Möhr
