Columbia Silk Moth

Thanks for the great information, NC bugs!

Nominate columbia occurs in tamarack forests across the Eastern Maritime Provinces of Canada (Nova Scotia, P.E.I., etc) and adjacent northeastern United States (New England & upstate NY), west into the Great Lakes region of the US & Canada. There is a zone of limited "blending with gloveri" along the periphery of the forests and eastern Plains of Canada (wc. Ontario possibly extending west into eastern Manitoba). The extent and compatability of blending remains in debate.

This and your other beautiful moths spottings would be lovely additions to my mission, "Moths of the World." Here is my mission's link: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841449 Thank you very much!
