March - After the coldest JanuarylFebruary in 75 years, March was a definite improvement. Tempera­ tures were near normal in the south and above normal in the north. In the north-west it was the mildest since 1985. Snowfall was below normal in most ofthe north, but in the south snowfall was above normal except for the Windsor area. April - In central and northern Ontario, temperatures were from 1/2 to 11/2 degrees below normal. However, south of a line from the Bruce Peninsula to Ottawa mean temperatures were up 1/2 degree above normal, making it the warmest April since 1991. Snowfall continued into the final week and it was the snowiest April since 1950. Southern Ontario received 120 to 140 % ofnormal precipitation. May - This month did not produce an early warm spring in Ontario. In both the south and north, mean temperatures generally ranged from 1/2 to 11/2 degrees below normal. Only in northern Ontario away from the Great Lakes and James Bay was it slightly warmer than normal. There was snow in a few locations on May 26th, heavy frost on May 27th and severe thunderstorms on the 31 st. Rainfall was plentiful south of a line from Sault Ste. Marie to North Bay. June - This was a month ofcontrast, the first half being cool and dry, mid-month was hot and humid and the final week was wet. Overall, the month was warmer than normal with diverse rainfall totals that ranged from record dry in Wawa to near record wet in Ottawa. A late frost on June 3rd dipped well into parts of southern Ontario. A heat wave June 16 - 18 sent temperatures soaring to 36°C at several locations including Toronto. Sault Ste. Marie reached 33°C on the 17th and this was their hottest recorded June. Rainfall was variable. From Kitchener to the Kawarthas, it was very dry for the first three weeks. July - Mean temperatures were pleasantly warm throughout much ofOntario although rain showers were abundant in most areas. Growing conditions were excellent in southern Ontario. The north-west was cooler than normal. For the third consecutive July, regions near Lake Superior endured a cool, wet month. Several towns, including Kapuskasing and Wawa failed to top 25°C, while the low temperatures in Wawa dropped to 2°C. August - During the first week a cold front swept across Ontario, dropping temperatures to a few degrees below normal. In the middle ofthe month, the weather remained cool with many low minimum temperatures'fecorded. On the 14th to 15th heavy thunderstorms occurred in Leamington and Windsor. The last part ofthe month started cool but warmed up. Precipitation was relatively light. September - It was sunny and dry in the south while the north was significantly wetter. The exception was the north-west which had frequent showers. Thunderstorms occurred in the south on the 25th and 26th, with St. Catherines receiving 63 mm ofrain, which caused local flooding. October - Ontario's first snowfall occurred in the north-west on the 23rd and 24th. Sioux Lookout! Kenora received 5 - 10 em. South and central Ontario enjoyed mainly mild sunny weather with temperatures in the mid to high teens. ******************** 3. CORRECTIONS TO PREVIOUS T.E.A.

Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Insect Survey of Four Longleaf Pine Preserves
    A SURVEY OF THE MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES, AND GRASSHOPPERS OF FOUR NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Stephen P. Hall and Dale F. Schweitzer November 15, 1993 ABSTRACT Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families. Forty-one of these we consider to be distinctive of the two fire- maintained communities principally under investigation, the longleaf pine savannas and flatwoods. An additional 14 species we consider distinctive of the pocosins that occur in close association with the savannas and flatwoods. Twenty nine species appear to be rare enough to be included on the list of elements monitored by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (eight others in this category have been reported from one of these sites, the Green Swamp, but were not observed in this study). Two of the moths collected, Spartiniphaga carterae and Agrotis buchholzi, are currently candidates for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered species. Another species, Hemipachnobia s. subporphyrea, appears to be endemic to North Carolina and should also be considered for federal candidate status. With few exceptions, even the species that seem to be most closely associated with savannas and flatwoods show few direct defenses against fire, the primary force responsible for maintaining these communities. Instead, the majority of these insects probably survive within this region due to their ability to rapidly re-colonize recently burned areas from small, well-dispersed refugia.

  • Field Observations of Divergent Resting Behavior Among Hickory Feeding Catocala Larvae (Noctuidae)
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' SOciety 36(4), 1982,303 GENERAL NOTES FIELD OBSERVATIONS OF DIVERGENT RESTING BEHAVIOR AMONG HICKORY FEEDING CATOCALA LARVAE (NOCTUIDAE) Catoeala are known for their sympatric diversity, with at least 35 species present at almost any forested locality in southern New England (see Sargent, 1976, Legion of night: The underwing moths, Univ. Massachusetts Press, Amherst, MA; also personal observation). Of these, about one third feed on Juglandaceae (hickories and walnuts). The precise foodplant preferences of these Juglandaceae feeders will be the topic of another paper (Schweitzer, in prep.) and are also being investigated by L. F. Gall. Sargent (1976, op. cit.; 1977, J. Lepid. Soc. 31:1-16) suggested that food may not be an important limiting factor in Catocala evolution. "Competition" for predator avoidance might be more important in Catocala ecology. Such competition might be manifest in different larval resting behaviors, which might serve to inhibit effective search image formation by predators, especially birds. Sargent (1976, op. cit.) reports laboratory obser­ vations of instar specific resting behaviors in Catocala dejecta Strecker and C. retecta Grote which were reared in plastic containers on Carya ovata. Although similar in ap­ pearance the two species grow at very different rates and so avoid having similar size and behavior simultaneously. Little is known about field resting habits of most Catocala species. From my own observations it seems that late instar C. epione (Drury) and C. c. consors 0. E. Smith) larvae almost invariably rest on branches or small trunks. Late instars of Catocala habilis larvae are quite flattened and can be found resting under bark shags.

  • Plant Inventory at Missouri National Recreational River
    Inventory of Butterflies at Fort Union Trading Post and Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Sites in 2004 --<o>-- Final Report Submitted by: Ronald Alan Royer, Ph.D. Burlington, North Dakota 58722 Submitted to: Northern Great Plains Inventory & Monitoring Coordinator National Park Service Mount Rushmore National Memorial Keystone, South Dakota 57751 October 1, 2004 Executive Summary This document reports inventory of butterflies at Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site (NHS) and Fort Union Trading Post NHS, both administered by the National Park Service in the state of North Dakota. Field work consisted of strategically timed visits throughout Summer 2004. The inventory employed “checklist” counting based on the author's experience with habitat for the various species expected from each site. This report is written in two separate parts, one for each site. Each part contains an annotated species list for that site. For possible later GIS use, noteworthy species encounters are reported by UTM coordinates, all of which are provided conveniently in a table within the report narrative for each site. An annotated listing is also included for each species at each site. Each of these provides a brief description of typical habitat, principal larval host(s), and information on adult phenology. This information is followed by abbreviated citations for published works in which more detailed information may be located. Recommendations are then made for each site on the basis of endemism, prairie butterfly conservation and
