dark-spotted palthis (Palthis angulalis) female at Cardinal Marsh IA 653A5354
This delightful little dark-spotted palthis looks like a spacecraft that was designed to fight the dark side in a Star Wars movie. This female has long tufted labial palps that make her look like Pinocchio. Once she lays her eggs, dark-spotted palthis caterpillars are not fussy and will feed on ash and maple tree leaves along with aster and goldenrod flower leaves.
