A moth called the Basswood Leafroller was active last night. Despite its common name Oak and Rock Elm are lsited as larval host plants along with basswood.
The nicely marked little beetle known to scientists as Dircaea liturata came to my lights. It is thought that larvae of this species may feed on beech.
Red Milkweed Beetles were also about.
And a single Aster flower marked the coming Aster flood. Perhaps a white wood aster?
