Last night a boldly marked inch long Grapevine Beetle came to my lights. As an adult this species feeds on grape leaves and fruit. Its larvae live in rotten stumps and logs.
Also attracted was a large handsome moth called the Common Lytrosis.
Today Canada Burnet, a state listed Rare or Uncommon species had started to flower.
And, along the banks of the West River, Stonefly Naiad husks hung split and empty on grasses, twigs and other vertical streamside objects. The husk pictured is, perhaps, that of the Common Stonefly although there are approximately 400 Stonefly species in North America … so …?
