White-tipped Black Moths are on a real tear this fall...
Dallas County Lepidopterists' Society (Butterflies and Moths) - November 2
To say there has been an explosion of White-tipped Black Moths (Melanchroia chephise) into north Texas would be a huge understatement. A little over
ten years ago this species was an unusual find in our area but has been a regular visitor at this time of year since. The numbers we are seeing now
are nothing short of spectacular.
