I thought that I should catch up a bit more with some of the black lighting adventures I had this fall, especially since I haven't been out locally for a few days to report on anything else. As before, these are a few of the ones I 'captured' at one or more places at Rondeau. A lot of them aren't as brightly coloured as some of the others I've posted at other times, but are interesting in their own way with the individual patterns.
 |
| Common Idia |
 |
| Common Pug |
 |
| Common Tan Wave |
 |
| Confused Eusarca |
 |
| Copper Underwing |
 |
| Corn Earworm |
 |
| Cupid Dart |
 |
| Definite Tussock Moth |
This next one looks quite distinctive, and it is in some respects, but the only way to separate it at the species level is to get a photo of the underside of its abdomen, a tricky thing to do on a specimen clasping a sheet. So it is only identified to the Genus level.
 |
| Desmia sp. |
 |
| Double-striped Scoparia |
 |
| Epinotia nonana |
 |
| Faint-spotted Palthis |
One of my favourites of the season, and I have only photographed it once or twice, so definitely a highlight.
 |
| False Hemlock Looper |
This next one is a little worn, so its reddish brown distinctive colouring is less impressive than on a fresh individual.
 |
| Filbertworm Moth |
 |
| Glossy Black Idia |
 |
| Gold-stripe Grass-veneer |
 |
| Gold-striped Leaftier |
This next one is very small, only a few millimetres in total length, and is considered a micro-moth.
 |
| Goldenrod Elliptical Gall Moth |
Just for a slight bit of variety, here are a couple of distinctive non-moth creatures that arrived for the fun.
 |
| Large Cranefly |
 |
| Sharpshooter, a type of leafhopper |
Til next time!
