The Wedgling has been one of the two most common moths at the lights all through January. Here I am uploading an array of color forms of males. (The females are dark maroon color.)
By over a month, this was my earliest record of this species on Salton Drive. BugGuide has Texas records of this species from late January to early December.
This species continues to be by far the most abundant moth I'm seeing everywhere in January. One to two dozen show up on my moth sheet on any night I turn the lights on. When I was hiking around Pace Bend Park in early January looking for the stake-out Acorn Woodpecker, I was kicking up hundreds of this species from the grassy and weedy open areas.
Taken during a group walk on the Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve. It was a beautiful cold and clear morning!
Evidently it wasn't too cold for a few butterflies to be out, including this beat up Common Buckeye shown here warming up in the sun.
