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.

 

 

Callopistria floridensis

1 November 2016

 

This was the first Wisconsin specimen I had collected or examined of this southeastern species, and it appears to be an isolated stray.  However, in 2018 I collected over 25 specimens from three sites in Appleton and Fallen Timbers Environmental Center, some of which were in fresh condition.  In the southeast it is a widespread generalist occurring in many habitat types.
