tch to H.confusa=3B not enough spots to be H.lecontei. Because it's not com=
mon I'll keep it and pass it on to the NSMNH when I'm next in Halifax. All =

We get two species of Haploa in Nova Scotia=2C H. lecontei and H.confusa. T=
hey are very similar (and similar to contigua)=2C but can be separated with=
practice. They are variable and come in a bewildering range of patterns. N=
ot much is known about confusa in Nova Scotia although it is common in New =
Brunswick. It is either a recent member of our fauna or was originally mist=
aken for lecontei. Both species are found in wet meadows or stream and riv=
er margins and both fly during the day as well as at night. They are member=
s of the Tiger Moth family (Arctiidae).
