Nov 18, 2008 - cool! what do the males look like?

Gwaithmir Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Look at the antennae of the moth in the video. Those of females are narrow, as per those of the specimen you caught. The antennae of males are feathery and three times as wide. Also, females have large abdomens filled with eggs. "Eastern Moths" by Charles V. Covell, Jr. has illustrations of moth genitalia.
