Here is a sampling of the moth species I was able to photograph this month. To start off we have a tiny moth (that’s a blade of grass it is clinging too), known as Crambus agitatellus<\/em>. It has no common name and few details are known about this moth, but it seems to be quite common across much of eastern North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most curious thing about this moth, the Morbid Owlet, is what little information I could find about it online– essentially nothing but its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve tentatively identified the below as the Gray Spring Moth. I’ve seen several of this species along the trails in my backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we have the first of two moths that I observed along the rail road tracks at Roscoe Ewing Park in Medina: Eusarca confusaria<\/em>, also known as the Confused Eusarca moth. As you might guess by the name, this moth has a variable appearance and can be easily confused with several other similar species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we have the most photogenic of the group, the Delicate Cycnia. This moth was very interested in a patch of wild mint and was cooperative for a large number of photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
