Скачать или смотреть The Badwing Moth Dyspteris abortivaria

The bad-wing moth (Dyspteris abortivaria) is found throughout eastern North America. Adults fly from mid-April to August.
Habitat: Found near edges and woodlands, with hostplants.
Food: Larvae feed on grapes and Virginia Creeper, while adults likely do not feed.
Behavior: Adults are often seen during the day at damp or streamside sites, where they drink from puddles and small rivulets. They then shoot out the liquid in an obvious stream, but the purpose of this behavior is unknown.
Name: The bad-wing moth gets its name from the Greek words dys (bad, difficult) and pteron (wing), which reflect the difficulty of pulling the hindwing into position for spreading. The specific epithet abortivaria may also suggest that attempts to pin the wings have been aborted.
