   Jeremy Tatum shows a Rusty Tussock <\/strong>or Vapourer Moth.  <\/strong>The caterpillar was shown on July 15.  This moth is a male.  You can tell that not only because of its elaborate antennae, but also because the female has no wings!  Many plants have been recorded as larval foodplants;  this individual was reared on Mahonia<\/em>.<\/p>\n
