Pinery November 2nd
Channel view
A moth monitoring station is being built to collect data about the moths that call Pinery home. I look forward to seeing it in operation once complete!
The Pine Tube Moth overwinters as a pupa in a tube that it constructs. The tubes are made from 5-20 eastern white pine needles webbed together to create a tube. Caterpillars build this as a shelter for themselves. Inside the tube, the caterpillars surround themselves with silken webbing. Adult moths are small and emerge by early May.
