Black-Etched Prominent female - Americerura scitiscripta - Female
Town of Greenbush, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, USA
July 3, 1997
Size: Wingspan: 1-1/2 in.
This female laid eggs on July 4, 1997. Eggs hatched July 11, 1997. Fed them Wild Cherry (Prunus serotina). They all died within two days. Obviously this was not a suitable host plant.
