Courtship, fertility, and much, much more...
What a glorious white moth! Thanks for the lovely photo and video.
Thank you!
The "flowers" on that tree are actually the fruits (fertilized and developed flowers) of an iron wood or hop hornbeam tree. I wonder if those "hops" make good beer?
I thought one looked like a hop, but didn't take time to investigate. Thanks.
Your moth looks like an elm spanworm - named for the caterpillar ( inch worm ) stage instead of the adult.
Thanks!
Thanks for taking us to Cedar Creek!
Beautiful.
