The Saddled Prominent Moth (''Heterocampa guttivitta'') is a species of moth of the Notodontidae family. It is found in North America, including Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Brunswick, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ontario, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.〔(Bug Guide )〕 The wingspan is about 40 mm. Adults are brownish to greenish grey with white or black spots on the forewings. There is one generation per year. The larvae feed on the foliage of a wide range of woody plants, including apple, birch, blueberry, dogwood, hazel, maple, oak, sumac and walnut.〔(aprairiehaven.com )〕 The first two instars cling to silken feeding mats on the underside of the leaf. They skeletonize the leaf leaving only a few major veins. Later instars feed on the outside of the leaf consuming all the tissue except major veins. The species overwinters in the pupal stage in a cocoon buried in leaf litter on the ground.〔(Bug Wood )〕 ==Gallery== Image:Heterocampa guttivitta larva.jpg|Larva Image:Heterocampa guttivitta larva1.jpg|Larva 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heterocampa guttivitta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
