Field Notes

Description:

So I love this picture. Not quite sure what is going on. It looks like the moth is damaged around its head/thorax, and maybe the harvestman is feeding on it? I wouldn't have thought predation could easily occur here, but I'm not sure. I'll take an ID on either species!

Habitat:

This is in the moss on a tree trunk

I'm not sure what's happening either but I think this is a good spot to add to the Athropods - Athropod interactions mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8016872
