One of the Not Ready For P.C. Players
The common name for the Retarded Dagger (Acronicta retardate) may not be politically correct, but he's always a welcomed find!
Here in Maryland, these fancifully adorned daggers prefer Eastern Boxelder trees, where they feed at night and rest in this typical "dagger pose" during the daylight hours.
I tend to search boxelder a lot, but over the years, I've only managed to find a few of these guys.
Today was good day! :)
