Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0\u00a0 If anyone sees this moth ovipositing, please save eggs for me, or let me know what plants it was ovipositing on. \u00a0I have been trying to find the eggs or a caterpillar for years, without success.\u00a0 It is Epirrhoe plebeculata<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong> Many of its congeners feed on Galium<\/em>, but I think this one probably feeds on something entirely different.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Jochen M\u00f6hr writes from Metchosin today: While I still have no moths at the screen lit with an LED light at night, I did at least see some butterflies\/moths: Five whites, presumably Cabbage Whites<\/strong> in various parts of Metchosin, one Mourning Cloak<\/strong> on Rocky Point Road, and numerous white flutterings, presumably geometrids.\u00a0 [Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 “Numerous white flutterings, presumably geometrids” \u2013 I think that is good enough field notes to describe Mesoleuca gratulata<\/em>!]<\/p>\n
