Got a Ceanothus Silk Moth ( male ) at my light 2/10/2011 Santa Cruz County California. In deed it was a surprise to see one there on my sheet. I think It may have hatched earlier than normal do to the warm weather we are having here. Cherry, willow and other trees are blooming a month earlier than they are supposed to the weather man said on the news. The moth is not very warn at all and no chips or cracks in it's wing edges. I suspect it is only a day or two old.

This species has been known to emerge as early as January down here in Los Angeles County. February starts the season officially in certain habitats.

Great article! Thanks for the link...I really enjoy historical articles/stories/experiences/biographies on older/early entomologists.  John K. |

indeed a fascinating article. It is now cold again here and on more silk moths have been seen.
