micro moth - Ortholepis pasadamia
Copyright © 2009 marcie oconnor

micro moth - Ortholepis pasadamia
Buffalo County, Wisconsin, USA
June 24, 2009
Size: about 10 mm
I collected this small pupa attached to a birch trunk on 6/13/09. On 6/24/09 I found the moth in the same jar. It seems like there must have been two different pupae attached to the same piece of birch bark, but I didn't notice a second pupa. Thanks, Charley, for help figuring out that the two are unrelated.

I seem to have raised one of these

Marcie, I'd like to contribute to your Bug Life Cycles website... If you add me as a contributor, I can go through my BugGuide images and give you links to other life cycles I've photographed.

Looks Like 5783 - Ortholepis pasadamia
I'd appreciate receiving taller photos that can be trimmed to squares to be shown on Plates at Moth Photographers Group

Ortholepis pasadamia
How can I move this to the guide? I think it needs a new page.
