Photos of Lepidoptera from Suburban Appleton in 2017
Hugo L. Kons Jr.
2019
The below photos
were taken by the author in a suburban yard on West Summer Street in Appleton,
WI (Outagamie County) (Google Earth figures)
in 2017. 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
some 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
genitalic dissection or other characters not visible in the live photos. Many 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. Photos of live Lepidoptera are exclusively
from 2017, but for specimen photos some individuals from other years are also
included, particularly for microlepidoptera.
All specimens/live photos are from the suburban Appleton yard unless
otherwise noted. Data or data labels
appear under each photo.
Additional
photos may be added in the future, but existing photos will not be removed
unless replaced with a higher quality photo of the same specimen.
