Found near home....Oregon

[Webeviction]

I found part of them in Ashland OR and find a lot around home but they are usually on grassy hillsides under rocks or bark oddly enough it seems that everywhere I collect them is near railroad tracks...

I have to chuckle each time I read the Interests section under your Photo where is says "unless it's a tick". You were 200% better than the rest of us in tick collecting last weekend!

 

[Webeviction]

Lmao!! I did make good tick bait....

Horrible pics but it's something new...

 

[Peter Clausen]

I've never seen either of those up this way. Very neat, both!

I thought so as well they are all currently living together I have about six of the millipedes and only the one geo...

On another note I spotted another one of those giant moths but it evaded me if only I were 20 foot tall some times

Peter i doubt one of those is flying this late especially with hyalophora being univoltine

However, it couldve been a polyphemus moth, those have multiple broods in many areas and often there r late emergers of the species

Your deductive reasoning skills are increasingly acute, Agent, and you may be right, but I have the secret advantage of having spent 3 days collecting with him less than a month ago where we discussed the moths he typically sees in his yard.

There are videos on YouTube of frogs fall from the sky. Isn't that stranger any month of the year than Hyalophora in November?

Thank you though for introducing me to the word "univoltine"!

Time to pack my bags and high tail it to oregon then :cowboy:

I remember when i was younger i was at a nature preserve and we found littered swallowtail wings around a bird nest site and i was the only one who could ID each species

The looks the other kids gave me... :lol:

 

[Webeviction]

Yes Peter that's the one

And agent you shouldn't doubt Oregon lol it hold many suprizes

ok peter is probably right on hyalophora columbia but i think in your area, the subspecies hyalophora columbia gloveri is more likely than columbia columbia

but i'm not there so wat do i know? :lol:

 

[Webeviction]

Well I'm pretty sure that's it anyway there is a picture of one on the first page of this thread I'll have to check if I have any more...
