Bicolored Sallow - Sunira bicolorago This is the wrong season for this species, so I am unsure if the ID is correct. It could also be Apamea helva, Orthosia hibisci, or  a different species of sallow.<br />
<br />
Habitat: I fished it out of a maple sugaring bucket that was hanging on a maple tree. I frequently peek in maple sugaring buckets this time of year to rescue any insects from drowning inside. Today, I rescued several moths and a beetle. Agrochola bicolorago,Geotagged,Shield-backed Cutworm,Sunira bicolorago,United States,Winter,moth Click/tap to enlarge
