Appleton Lepidoptera Photo Index for 2017

 

 

            The below photos were taken by the author in a suburban yard on West Summer Street in Appleton, WI (Outagamie County) (Google Earth figures).  The habitat includes a variety of trees, gardens, and lawns.  The closest forested habitat is along the Fox River about 1.2 miles to the south (mesic to hydric hardwoods).  Fields, mesic to hydric hardwood forest, and prairie planting occur just over 2 miles to the west.  Forested and open wetlands occur just over 3 miles to the northwest.  Xeric uplands do not occur in the vicinity.

 

While many of the photos shown are of live specimens, at least one voucher specimen of each species was collected on each date recorded.  Many of the live specimen photos are the same individuals as the voucher specimens collected after the photo was taken.  Some of the identifications are based on characters not visible in the photos.  More species were collected at this site in 2017 than are represented in the below photo sets, but most species with photos of live individuals from 2017 are included.

 

Numbers in [ ] are from the Hodges et al. (1983) checklist of the Lepidoptera of America North of Mexico.
