@kingofthemagikarps submitted: Found in CA. I’ve never seen any green moth around here before! Found this lil dude pursuing the forbidden LÄMP. Was about like, an inch in size?
Very pretty! It’s a geometer moth, probably in Nemoria. Which are actually among the most common geometers in California!

A beautiful red-fringed emerald (Nemoria bistriaria) at the light. In the Northeast, where I am, the spring form of this species is reddish brown, while the later generations are green. But this is actually one of the weird intermediate forms, with both red and green markings.

Red-fringed emerald (Nemoria bistriaria), Newark DE. July 2017. Sadly, I don’t know what species of midge is in the corner. Caterpillars of the red-fringed emerald moth are specialist feeders, meaning they can only feed on one or two specific kinds of plants in order to grow and develop. These caterpillars feed exclusively on white oak (Quercus alba).  Multiple generations in the Mid-Atlantic, with adults appearing as early as May.

The rather drab, brown, early spring form of the Red-fringed Emerald (Nemoria bistriaria) made an appearance the other night. I love the almost reflective white bar between the antennae, makes them look like steer :-).
