The Tufted White Pine Caterpillar or Eastern Panthea (''Panthea furcilla'') is a species of moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found across the boreal forest region of Canada west to the Rocky Mountains, and in the eastern parts of the United States, from Maine to Florida, west to Texas, north to Indiana and Ohio. It has a wingspan of 33–50 mm. The moth flies from June to August in a single brood in Canada, but in two or more generations in the southern United States, depending on the location. The larvae feed on Eastern Larch, Pines, and Spruces. ==Subspecies== There are two recognised subspecies: *''Panthea furcilla australis'' Anweiler, 2009 *''Panthea furcilla furcilla'' (Packard, 1864) The supposed species ''P. pallescens'' is today considered a mere form of ''P. furcilla'' with no taxonomic standing. ==External links== *(butterfliesandmoths.org ) *(Species info at Bug Guide ) *(Info on larval stage ) *(Revision of the New World Panthea Hübner (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) with descriptions of 5 new species and 2 new subspecies ) 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「Panthea furcilla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
