VARIOUS ANGLE MOTHS - GROUP #1
Common Angle moth. This is an abundant species in our area. These moths have a black shape on each wing that resembles a paw-print.
Red-headed Inchworm. Another common species, I have found these moths from May through September.
This Common Angle moth is more faded than the individual above. I have found this species every month from late March through September.
Faint-spotted Angle. I have seen this species every month from April through September.
Bicolored Angle, at my home moth lights. I measured this individual at 32 mm. (Several species of angle moths can be difficult to distinguish, and a measurement often helps.) Photographed on June 17, 2017.
Dot-lined Angle moth. This species is more common in southern states. It is uncommon in Ohio. Photographed August 7, 2017.
Blurry Chocolate Angle. I have found a few individuals at my lights in June, July, and August.
Another Red-headed Inchworm moth. This species is larger than the Common Angle, and it lacks the black "paw-print" shape.
Another Faint-spotted Angle moth. This individual is more strongly marked than the one above.
Bicolored Angle moth, photographed at Hocking Hills (eastern Ohio) on May 14, 2023. This is one of our larger angle moths, and not as common as the three species above.
Red-headed Inchworm at Cox Arboretum. These moths feed on pine trees, while Common Angles prefer maples.
Hemlock Angle, photographed May 13, 2023 at Hocking Hills (eastern Ohio). I have found a couple of these moths at Hocking Hills, but never at my home lights.
