   Tracey Mellor sends a photograph of a Catocala<\/em><\/strong> caterpillar shortly before pupation looking for somewhere to bury itself and pupate.  It is most likely our commonest species, the oak-feeder C. aholibah<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

   Jeremy Tatum writes:  I reared a small caterpillar from Indian Plum. The adult moth emerged a few days ago, and it was so featureless that I didn’t think it could be identified.  No problem for Jason J. Dombroskie, who kindly identified it for us as Argyrotaenia franciscana<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

   Sonia Voicescu reports the following from Rithet’s Bog, May 16: 6 Western Spring Azures, 6 Cabbage Whites <\/strong>and 21 <\/strong> (yes, that’s 21!) Ringlets<\/strong>.  It’s good to know that the Ringlets are doing so well at Rithet’s Bog and at Island View Beach.  Will someone check Layritz Park and Quick’s Bottom?  <\/p>\n
