Syngrapha octoscripta

Syngrapha octoscripta
Iron Springs Bog Scientific and Natural Area, Clearwater County, Minnesota, USA
Though described as being found in dry habitats, this approximately 25mm final instar caterpillar was swept from Labrador tea on June 12, 2013 from a quite wet conifer bog. It fed readily on Lab. tea and was prepupal on the morning of June 18. For unclear reasons the quality of the adult image (eclosed June 30, 2013) is very poor, but the markings at least clear. Adds a MN record at BG.
