For the first post on this blog, I considered a number of possible species to present. I had intended to use Imperial Moth, but ran into the above picture on the way to getting the Imperial Moth photo -- what a cutie! And so furry! In late May 2012, Black-waved Flannel Moth was incredibly numerous and outnumbered all other species at the various light sources at and near the headquarters of Belleplain State Forest.
Posts in this venue will be brief, simply presenting a representative picture or pictures of a particular species (with the Hodges number presented in the title in parentheses). Other bits of information will probably be presented for particular species, particularly details of life history, spatial and temporal distribution in Cape May County, and other odds and ends.
