I took this shot last August. It was the only one I caught in the act.

There weren't any recently at Cheekwood or Bison Meadows in Nashville. I haven't had any yet in my yard. Have you actually seen them laying eggs on prickly mallow? That would be good to see and photograph.

Last year they showed up here near the middle of August which seemed really early but this year I started seeing a few at the beginning of July and for the last week or so I've been seeing fair numbers everyday. They're concentrated in or near one of my pastures that's been overrun with Prickly Mallow. > > > >Has anyone else noticed this? > > >Ken Childs >Henderson, TN >Chester County > >http://tinyurl.com/Kens-Moths-2011 > > > >
