grapes, 1 reckon. Their power of scent must be 

 something herce. One day I watched a male flying 

 backwards and forwards across the wind, east of the 

 bughouse, till he had worked south, easily between 

 200 and 300 yards. He was clearly visible as he had

 as I've seen small larvae early in February, I think it 

 was.

 has the appearance of being laid up with blocks or 

 squares, each square separated from the rest by a 

 minute line of a darker shade. There are three light

 irregular three cornered brown spot on outer margin

 brown. 



Secondaries light tan bordering on pale yellow, with 

 a sprinkling of brown near inner angle. The veins 

 show up quite prominent giving the appearance of a 

 scalloped sub-marginal band.
