Finally found one of my most-wanted slug cats: the Stinging Rose Caterpillar! Spoiler: A couple more things Eastern Panthea Moth Possibly the Splendid Dagger Moth's caterpillar
And today I found my MOST-wanted slug: the Spun Glass Caterpillar :O While we don't have Jewel Caterpillars—what Snom was based on—in my part of the world, this one sure looks icy!
Straight-Lined Plagodis Spoiler White Edge Moth Spoiler Large Paectes Spoiler Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth Spoiler Yellow-Shouldered Slug Caterpillar Spoiler Two more color forms of the Spiny Oak-Slug Spoiler
This guy looks pretty cool with those blue highlights! Dinumma deponens (darker form), a species introduced from Asia Also, I was starting to think that sphinx caterpillars were going to evade me all year, but I finally found one! Blinded Sphinx caterpillar Still hoping to find a Dunsparce Tersa Sphinx caterpillar!
I doubt I'll be getting much more this year, but here's a newbie from a couple nights ago: Pavlovski's Monopis Moth A member of the clothes moth family introduced from Asia. Its caterpillars feed on fur and feathers.
What the what!? I found this last April but, assuming it was another one of those little azure butterflies I'm never able to catch with open wings, never bothered uploading it. I'm just now realizing that it's a moth—a Bluish Spring Moth!
Got my first new moth of the year last night: a Snowy-Shouldered Acleris! Spoiler EDIT: Second newbie: a Reddish Speckled Dart Spoiler
Couldn't capture the colors as well as other photos I've seen of it, but I've been wanting this one! Dogwood Thyatirid Moth Spoiler: Dorsal view, better showing the pink shading
