Hi all,
Over the last week the valley has been deluged with Yellow-collared Scape
Moth-Hodges 8267(Cisseps Fulvicollis). They cover every flower especially
Ragweed and Goldenrod,often dozens on a single flower head. Although most
are black and orange I have observed some that have yellow collars and a
few that look beige.They seem to be an interesting species,a wasp mimic and
nectar feeder, the proboscis is almost 1/2 the moths length. Is this a local
phenomenon or are they widespread in the province? All the best.
