		<description><![CDATA[While some common names are great descriptors of a moth&#8217;s biology, some can be rather deceiving. Take the Banded Tussock moth for example, which although banded, isn&#8217;t a true tussock moth! While the &#8220;true&#8221; tussock moths are in the subfamily Lymantriinae, this moth is actually a tiger moth in the Arctiinae.

		<description><![CDATA[This may be one of my new favourite Ontario moths; I find the colour and pattern of the wings to be quite striking. It also has one of the more literal common names, as the larvae role up leaves of a diversity of trees, including basswoods (Tilia). Although called a leafroller, this moth belongs in <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/07/26/2387/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not all moths have showy wings, or even wings to begin with! The Fall Cankerworm (Alsophila pometaria) is a moderate pest in the landscaping industry as the larvae skeletonize leaves of several different trees and as you can see here the females are completely wingless. Females emerge from the leaf litter in the fall and <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/07/25/fall-cankerworm-alsophila-pometaria-nmw2012/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I may be nearly useless with moth identification, but this is one I know by heart. Of course, this isn&#8217;t really brag worthy since there aren&#8217;t many moths with an iridescent blue thorax and yellow head, but I&#8217;m working on baby steps here. Just because I can identify it doesn&#8217;t mean I can place it in the <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/07/24/virginia-ctenuca-ctenuca-virginica-nmw2012/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Today I&#8217;ll be showing some of the lower flies from my trip to Bolivia in spring 2007.
