    Hello all,

    Here are some moth pictures photographed las July 11th, 2011 at Sherbrooke, Quebec (near Vermont).

    I'm suspecting Leucania ursula without being sure...

    Thanks Toni... I received confirmation that it is really Leucania ursula (Ursula Wainscot).

    Carolyn, I hope you are joking; otherwise...

    Biodiversity in your garden is the proof of a healty place. Every species deserves to be protected.
