Field Notes

Description:

I thought this might have been a blackberry looper at first, but it is definitely white and not green at all. A bit bigger, too, than the looper. 2-3cm width wingspan, 1cm long or so. Very delicate pretty thing!

This is definitely the one! Thanks for the ID! What does 'second brood' mean?
