Bug of the Day
My hopelessly tannin-stained moth sheet makes an interesting backdrop for this Green Leuconycta (Leuconycta diphteroides)
@onenicebugperday I thought you might enjoy seeing this little leuconycta moth whose daytime rest I disturbed while trimming the shrubs. They were safely relocated to a lichen-covered tree nearby.
Bug of the Day
Found this caterpillar (green Leuconycta, Leuconycta diphteroides) chowing down on the Joe-Pye weed in my garden. Check out the hot pink detailing!
