2019 May 22 morning

 

   Jochen Möhr’s moths in Metchosin yesterday morning:

 

1 Lophocampa maculata

2 Plagodis pulveraria

1 Perizoma curvilinea

1 Drepana arcuata – the same individual, which has been here since May 20 at the same spot and probably intends to die here

 

   Jeremy Tatum comments:  I have often noticed that when a moth comes to the rear door of my apartment building, it often stays there for several days.  Eventually it disappears, but whether it has flown, died or been eaten, I know not.
