Moths can be a lot of Fun. I only have a limited perspective and don't know a lot about them. Anyone who can help zero in on the identification and life history of any of these individuals please drop me a line. I've included a few photos of some interesting looking beast encountered in Late July both around the North Quabbin and while Traveling in Northern New Hampshire
This spectacular caterpillar was found by Tim Silva on the TTOR/USCEC/ABNC canoe trip up Lawrence Brook in Royalston on July 26, 2003.
July 22 and 23 found us in Jefferson New Hampshire at my Aunt's Farm on the side of Cherry Mountain the porch light attracts a wide variety of interesting Moths. Here are a few:
This species may be the Ceratomia undulosa (Waved Sphinx)
Pinned specimens don't help in locating the identity of this really cool Moth
the Great Tiger Moth Arctia caia
This looks like a White Marked Tussock Moth Hemerocampa leucostigma
