Matching adult moths to their larval forms is a particular challenge for me. The learning curve seems especially steep, but I continue to make slow progress. I hope to match several more local species in the upcoming year. Perhaps I can recruit some local volunteers to help with this long-term project?
I’m thankful for the continuing help of John and Jane Balaban (@ BugGuide.net) as well as to the authors of these two texts: David Wagner (Caterpillars of Eastern North America, Princeton University Press, 2005) and David Wagner, Dale Schweitzer, J. Bolling Sullivan and Richard Reardon (Owlet Caterpillars of Eastern North America, Princeton University Press, 2011).
