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. 

 

I have collected at least eleven species of Pyralinae in Wisconsin: Pyralis farinalis, Aglossa costiferalis, Aglossa disciferalis, Aglossa pinguinalis, Aglossa caprealis, Aglossa caprina, Hypsopygia costalis, Hypsopygia intermedialis, Hypsopygia thymetusalis, Hypsopygia binodulalis, and Hypsopygia olinalis.  At least eight of these occur in suburban Appleton.  Pyralis farinalis, Hypsopygia costalis, Hypsopygia intermedialis, and Hypsopygia olinalis are present in numbers every season.  Aglossa cuprina, Aglossa pinguinalis, and Hypsopygia thymetusalis are uncommon and irregular, and probably represent dispersers from higher quality habitats.

 

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