Epelis truncataria

May 27, 2002

There's a cranberry bog (fen, actually - known as the Pond Meadow Natural Area) right around the corner from my house.  These little day-flying geometers are all over the place!

According to the USFWS they are considered rare and are listed as "W2", which means "a rare species, with 21 to 100 known occurrences in the watershed states".

They are small enough to fit on a dime without hanging off the edge!
