Reported as an adult

Usually reported as an adult late June to late September, middle week Aug 23–29.

From 882 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.

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.

Often confused with

  • Cross-lined Wave Timandra amaturaria16 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant

From iNaturalist’s similar-species counts, refreshed monthly: confusions in Ohio first, then worldwide. Only species with an Ohio result are listed.

When each is reported

  • All recordsUsually late June to late September, middle week late August · 885 records
  • Reported as femaleUsually mid-July to mid-September, middle week late August · 35 records

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