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.
This
is a small subfamily with about eight species in Wisconsin, although some may
be strays or migrants or confined to the southern counties. Dicymolomia
julianalis is the only species regularly present in suburban Appleton. Two other species occasionally occur,
probably as dispersers from other habitats or strays from farther south
Numbers
in [ ] are from the Hodges et al. (1983) checklist of the Lepidoptera of
America North of Mexico.
