Re: Thoughts on NABA?

There's your problem.
Look, it is universal country-wide that one cannot catch and kill song birds, despite many having very healthy populations. Meanwhile, house cats are allowed to roam freely and have been documented to have a significant negative impact on song bird populations. One isn't allowed in most places to shoot cats that are outdoors; "environmentalist" tree huggers are fine looking the other way when it's their cats that kill birds. These same NABA people who are horrified that some citizen scientists kill butterflies are the same types with the bird depleting cats, but somehow to their logic, that's OK.

Exactly what is Hyphantria cunea?
by vabrou » Mon Apr 29, 2024 2:27 pm
The opposite phenomena concerning other common species occurs. In 1972 Ferguson reviewed the validity of names for Actias luna: nine forms and synonyms from Nova Scotia to Texas, and reducing them all to a single species due to population variation and lack of consistent and definitive distinguishable characters. Even in abundantly populated and well known species as A. luna, it is difficult to figure out exactly what are the parameters for a single species. Here in Louisiana, A. luna has five annual broods, with each brood of this species, the moths become less brilliant in color and maculation, and become paler in color, wider in wingspan, shorter in length, the fifth brood becomes very different in appearance. The broods occurring mid February into October in Louisiana. Should our field guide or even ultimate treatments in MONA have examples of all five broods, and what about the females that have the same changing characteristics. Then we should have as a minimum 10 images in a single reference book. Somewhat impractible, though here in Louisiana there are moth species with 13 annual broods.
I have published may species accounts illustrating lots of morphotype variations withing a single species. e.g.

I have attached two jpgs illustrating 58 morphotype variations involving just some of the male variations found in Hyphantria cunea here just at my home in Louisiana. There are females variations as well not illustrated here, nor are additional variations found in the first annual brood, nor are the male and female variations found in the second, third and fourth annual broods.

Here is the first such phenology inforrmation in existence concerning P. interragationis, though, I have yet to publish it. Attached is a phenogram concerning Polygonia interrogationis (Fabricius) adults in Louisiana. Here there are five annual broods, adults captured in all 12 months. Sure, some years adults did not appear e.g. January our coldest month here. But, in other less colder years, many are active in January. Bottom line, don't make uninformed assumptions based upon insufficient investigation, nor repeat what you read in publications, as fact. And of course in Canada, this species probably does not have five annual broods. Key word (probably), as I didn't perform my investigations there, so I can't be sure.

The appearance of various Nymphalid species may be migration (e.g., Vanessa) or it may be just massive population explosion every summer. It depends on the species; some have no qualms about flying hundreds of miles "just because".
If of great interest, it's best to pick one species and start reading/ researching. Each Nymphalid species mentioned may well behave differently in Wisconsin.
Tiger swallowtails, according to iNat, seem to have been observed in number this year from Chiraq NW into Wisconsin. It likely is linked to any early warming this year. They, like many species of animal, somehow know whether it's going to snow again or not.

Mystery moth
by kevinkk » Mon Apr 29, 2024 5:35 am
I tried an image search, (for the first time) and found something similar. Gonometa sp. looked close, but not exact.
Amazing cocoon construction, hard as a rock. All the material is identical, and no others have hatched.

I was unsure if it was happening to others, and the way to find out is to ask. As good as my provider claims to be, one never knows,
streaming takes a nap often enough, and the official answers from tech support are usually laughable, or simply annoying.
