Reported as an adult
Usually reported as an adult mid-May to early July, middle week mid-June, and again late July to mid-September, middle week late August.
Reported as a caterpillar
Only 6 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.
