I've since found a better site that shows 5 times the number of species in VT than the one I used to ID this one. Thanks! These guys were everywhere.

Or small ones that focus on moths, butterflies, and dragonflies respectively for VT/Northeast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have separate field guides for moths, butterflies, and odes. They are: Princeton Field Guides Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern America I've been told that the moth guide is not totally reliable, so I double check with people on iNaturalist and other websites.

Birding Boy Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 iNaturalist identified the moth as a Promethea Silkmoth. I checked on it/her again, and she had been joined by what seems like a male! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
