Datana major caterpillars - Datana major
Ft Knox, Hardin County, Kentucky, USA
Photo was taken during the summer of 1976 while I was stationed at Ft Knox, Kentucky. I spent a lot of time out and about on mosquito surveillance and always carried a camera 'just in case'.

Date Mismatch
The date field lists 02/21/76 whereas the text lists summer.

Apparent date mismatch
The photo was undated; all I can remember is that it was taken during the summer of 1976 which is what I put on the submission form. The bugguide system inserted the February date, and I do not know how to correct that.

Updated
It is an all or nothing field. So leave it blank (as it has been updated to be) when an exact date is unavailable.

Apparent date mismatch
Thank you very much, George, I will bear that in mind if I have any future submissions with uncertain dates.
