Ice Storm Revisited

Jo put together a collage showing more or less the same areas on our place at the end of January, 2009, and end of January, 2012, when our temperatures are hitting the lower sixties. After the ice storm, we were without power for a little over three weeks and without phone service for almost a month. It took us three days to chainsaw our way out, and would have taken longer had we not met up with a county crew working from the other direction.

Common Oak Moth
(Phoberia atomaris - 8591)

Miacy:

This is a common and highly variable noctuid
that appears early every spring. They range from pale gray to deep gray. The pattern is always the same, though.

As the name suggests, the larvae feed on oak leaves.
