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.
I
have only collected two species in this subfamily in Wisconsin: Evergestis pallidata and Evergestis unimacula. I collected one Evergestis unimacula in upland oak-jack pine forest/barrens in
Menominee County. Evergestis pallidata is widespread in many habitats; however, it is
only occasionally encountered in suburban Appleton.
Numbers

America North of Mexico.
