Annaphila diva
white annaphila
Annaphila diva is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, commonly known as the white annaphila. It is found in North America and is distinguished by striking black-and-white wing coloration. The species is notable for being a day-flying moth, an uncommon trait among Noctuidae. Larvae feed on miner's lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata), a host plant relationship that has been documented. The species was first described by Grote in 1873 and is assigned MONA/Hodges number 9869.
Dolba hyloeus
Pawpaw Sphinx
Dolba hyloeus, the pawpaw sphinx, is a moth in the family Sphingidae. It is the only species in the genus Dolba. The species is found throughout the eastern United States, where it has been documented from Maine to Florida and west to Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Texas. Adults are nocturnal and attracted to light. The common name reflects the larval association with pawpaw trees (Asimina species).
Poanes aaroni
Aaron's Skipper, Saffron Skipper
Poanes aaroni, commonly known as Aaron's Skipper or the Saffron Skipper, is a North American skipper butterfly restricted to salt marshes along the Atlantic coast. The species exhibits vivid orange coloration with broad black wing borders. It has a highly specialized ecological relationship, with larvae feeding exclusively on smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). Four subspecies are currently recognized, reflecting geographic variation across its limited coastal range.
