I just came back from a few days in northern Wisconsin. The weather was good on just one day, and that one day was great for collecting all kinds of insects. My kids and I collected several odonata species. And some very nice leps.
Several Papilio canadensis, Limenitis arthemis arthemis.
And we hit the jackpot at night with our MV light.
3 Actias luna
1 Hyalophora columbia
2 Sphinx canadensis
2 Dryocampa rubicunda
1 Ceratomia undulosa
2 Smerinthus cerisyi
1 Amorpha juglandis
2 Paonias myops
2 Pachysphinx modesta
Plus several other species of smaller moths.
Then to top it off, upon returning home we found that 2 of our Callosamia promethea coccoons had hatched & they were mating. That is the attached picture.
