University of Guelph ARBORETUM MOTHS All species found by CANDICE TALBOT (CT) unless otherwise indicated. Other contributors: AB – Andrew Bendall AT – Andalyne Tofflemire CE – Chris Earley FR – Fiona Reid MK – Mike Kent Some notes about the records: Most moths were found at or near the J.C. Taylor Nature Centre, coming to building lights, or to a black light and sheet hung by the building, or to painted bait on nearby trees. Semi-regular monitoring was started by CT in 2012, with a small number of incidental observations pre- dating that time. Dates are written as 20140503 (e.g. May 3, 2014) and photographic records likely exist for all specific dates listed. Dates in brackets indicate that the moth was first recorded as present by CT before that date, but an image may not be available for the earlier sight record. Our list follows the order and groups of Beadle & Leckie (2012) Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern North America. Identifications are based on photographs using this guide as well as other published print and online resources for comparison. We acknowledge that, in some cases, definitive identification may not be possible without dissection and professional examination of the genitalia. Therefore some of our species identifications for difficult groups should be considered tentative. In other cases identification to genus is all that is possible, given the current knowledge of some groups or species complexes. Moss-Eaters - Family Micropterigidae 1.
