Hylephila phyleus
Antennae are very short. Male wide black stigma. Underside of the hindwing is scattered with small black spots.
This is a city maintained retention pond. Lots of wild aster blooming.
Returned to this pond to evaluate the impact of a two consecutive days of aerial spraying for West Nile. Water level in the retention pond is down several inches.
