Double-toothed Prominent Moth




Double-toothed Prominent - Hodges#7929 (Nerice bidentata)

An aptly-named species: the adult has a doubly-toothed band on its forewing, the larva has doubly-toothed humps on its back, and the food plant (elm) has doubly-toothed leaf edges. This moth ranges from Nova Scotia south to Florida and west to Texas.
