Field Notes
Description:
Do you see a monkey face? Moths from the genus Furcula have a dark patch of scales on the thorax that some people say looks similar to a monkey face. It is most distinctive with this species, the White Furcula moth. This is the first time I have seen this stunning member of the Prominent Moth family (lifer!) and I am so happy to be able to share this with everyone this week! National Moth Week 2017.
Habitat:
Suburban. Attracted to a flood light overnight.
