It’s gotten really chilly in Raleigh over the past few weeks. We’ve had some decent days mixed in too, so it doesn’t quite feel like winter yet, but the insects are obviously on their way out for the season and have become rather sparse. It was therefore with great pleasure that I came home on a chilly night last weekend and found a half-dozen of these little beauties on the molding around my front door:
I have no idea what they were, but I was impressed that these moths were still out on a genuinely cold night. Always interesting to see insects active when the temps are just above freezing!
Anyone else seeing cool things out still? I want to live vicariously through you if you are!
