Spring Cankerworm Moth
Paleacrita vernata
Adult spring cankerworm moths emerge in late winter and early spring, often while snow is still present. Winged males fly through woodland and neighborhood trees to locate mates, while females are wingless and climb trunks to lay eggs. Adults do not feed, living only long enough to reproduce.
