Major Sallow
Feralia major
42.3498, -74.0187
Field Notes
Description:
A gorgeous pistachio green moth in the Noctuidae family, the Major Sallow, Feralia major is one of my favorite moths, even though I just saw it today. The second photo is perhaps my favorite moth face photo I've taken! The moth was cleaning its proboscis with its leg.
Habitat:
The green, black, and white is thought to mimic the needles of conifers which the moths feed as larva on.
Notes:
Two of these were at the light this morning. Lifer!
