VARIOUS GREEN MOTHS
Another Marbled-green Leuconycta moth. This species visits my moth lights from May through August. I often find them flying at the same time as their cousins, the Green Leuconycta moths.
Green Leuconycta moth. Don't ask me how to pronounce that name, because I have no idea, but these moths sure are gorgeous!
The Scribbler Moth, photographed April 16, 2016, at Hocking Hills. I have never seen this moth in our area. They usually fly in the month of April.
Comstock's Sallow. I found this beautiful minty-green moth at Hockings Hills on May 12, 2018. I have never seen them at my home moth lights.
Implicit Arches. I look forward to seeing these beautiful green moths every fall.
Marbled-green Leuconycta moth. These moths have more brown in their wing pattern than the Green Leuconycta moths above. Marbled-green Leuconyctas remind me of mint chocolate ice cream.
Another Implicit Arches at my UV lights.
Another Comstock's Sallow, photographed May 1, 2022 at Hocking Hills. They feed on hemlock trees and other conifers.
Another Green Leuconycta. These moths show up at my lights from May through August.
I have found several Implicit Arches at my lights, in late August and September.
Another Green Leuconycta at my lights. The caterpillars feed on goldenrod and aster.
Last but not least, here is a Green Marvel Moth. I found my first Green Marvel at Cox Arboretum on August 1, 2011, but then I had to wait 12 years to find another one! This individual came to my moth lights on August 13, 2023. Let's hope I don't need to wait 12 more years to find another one!
