Reported as an adult

Usually reported as an adult late June to late July, middle week Jul 19–25.

From 198 records that are marked as adults. Not every photo is marked with a life stage, so this shows when people reported it as an adult, not when adults are about.

Reported as a caterpillar

No caterpillar season shown here. Most records come from a single year, so a season is not shown yet.

What these results show

These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.

Identification

How to identify it

Telling it apart

From what Ohio’s records show. Only what the records support is shown.

When each is reported

  • All recordsUsually late June to mid-September, middle week mid-July · 266 records
  • Reported as maleUsually early July to late July, middle week mid-July · 33 records
  • Reported as an adultUsually late June to late July, middle week mid-July · 198 records

Not every photo is marked with a sex or a sign, so these show when people reported each, not when it happens.
