Reported as an adult

Usually reported as an adult early April to late April, middle week Apr 12–18.

From 32 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 records here are marked as caterpillars yet, so there is no caterpillar season to show. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.

Reported as an adult

Usually reported as an adult early April to early May, middle week Apr 12–18.

From 253 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

Only 19 records here are marked as caterpillars, too few to show a caterpillar season. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.

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.
