For the past thirty-nine years I have seen these little moths every summer, and have erroneously called them `lappet moths` because that is what a local naturalist told me that they were back in 1971. But it appears that they are nothing of the kind. Does anyone know what they are?
Hi, it is one of the 'Thorn' moths.
ReplyDeletePossibly the Early Thorn Selenia dentaria.
