Jumatatu nondo

I’ll keep the ball rolling with Arctiinae and post a photo today of Ctenucha brunnea. Nondo hii inaweza kuwa ya kawaida katika nyasi ndefu kando ya fuo kutoka San Francisco hadi LA – ingawa katika miongo ya hivi karibuni idadi ya nondo hii imekuwa ikipungua kutokana na uharibifu wa makazi na uvamizi wa nyasi za pwani. (Ammophila arenaria). But anywhere there are stands of giant ryegrass (Leymus condensatus) you should find dozens of these moths flying in the heat of the day or nectaring on toyon.
