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.
The
live specimen photos are voucher specimens collected after the photos were
taken.
Five
Scopariinae species have been found in suburban Appleton so far, but Scoparia biplagialis and Eudonia strigitalis account for most
individuals.
Numbers
in [ ] are from the Hodges et al. (1983) checklist of the Lepidoptera of
America North of Mexico.
