| Re: November Moth?
To an extent I agree but..... "Live males of all four species can easily be identified by examination of the underside of the abdomen with a hand lens" etc try it out its not hard if you can for example sex dragonflies you wont find this any more difficult ,which is why I pointed out in my first post that you cant be shure without examining the underside.
Plus some diagnostic features dont cross over ie the unbroken lines. Which again is why I made that point. If this moth had broken lines above the Y then it would not be possible to tell if it was November or Pale November.
I also asked if anyone had ever seen that feature on Pale November, I dont know anyone who has including individuals who have been at it for thirty + years. |
