Ashes and Dust<p>For <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MothMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MothMonday</span></a> I present Nessus Sphinx (Amphion floridensis). I have soft spot for Sphinx (aka Hawk) Moths - their pollination relationship with flowers is pretty cool. Ok I may be biased given it was the subject of my masters thesis, but still.<br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moth</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insect</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lepidoptera</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/manitoba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>manitoba</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/sphingidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sphingidae</span></a></p>
Ashes and Dust<p>For <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MothMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MothMonday</span></a> I give you the leaf mine of the Poison Ivy Leaf-miner Moth. As its name suggests, the larvae live in and mine the insides of Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron) leaves, clearly unaffected by the oil that so irritates human skin. The mines are relatively common around here (southern Manitoba). The adults are small but rather elegant. <br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insect</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lepidoptera</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/leafminer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leafminer</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moth</span></a></p>
