These like using native Cissus vines as a larval host plant. Am glad I have a mercury vapor security light by the garage!!! I get a variety of moths throughout the year on the garage walls :o) I try to remember to step outside the garage and check the wall before I get into the vehicle to leave for work - but when I forget I usually end up noticing something on the wall as I am backing out of the garage. Then of course, I have to turn off the vehicle, get the camera and take photos!!! ~ Cat This message was edited May 29, 2009 10:37 AM |
