Finally, a new moth…
I had my second backyard moth of the year yesterday. It was another (or perhaps the same) Dot-and-Dash Swordgrass (Xylena curvimacula). However, while searching for wildlife to photograph at Glenmore reservoir I found a moth that I have not seen before. It was “The Infant” Archiearis infans. Apparently, this is a non-hibernating day flying moth that is often seen before the snow has completely melted. Unfortunately, the image quality is not great as I did not have a macro lens with me (should have known better) so I had to take the photographs with my 100-400 telephoto zoom… Either way, great to finally get a second moth species for the year!
While at Glenmore I also had some very close views of a Red-breasted Merganser.
