Reported as an adult

Usually reported as an adult late May to early August, middle week mid-July, and again late August to mid-October, middle week mid-September.

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.
