Among the moths flying last night was the aptly named Lemon Plagodis. Larval food plants for this species are aspen, basswood, birches, black cherry, linden, maples and oaks.
Day flying Common Spring moths, larval hosts Black locust and honey locust, were flying today.
And Common Buttercups opened flowers. Buttercups are family Ranunculus, a diverse group represented by over 100 species in the northeast including Hepatica!
