Many thanks to Tim Dyson of Peterborough, Ontario, and to Maurice Bottos of Windsor, Ontario, for sightings and images. Both collect at bait.
From Windsor, Maurice reports black underwings: insolabilis, retecta, obscura, residua, vidua and judith (judith is rare...only 1 or 2 a year)
which seem to be absent in Tim's more northerly location.
Maurice has also sent images of C. mira, blandula, serena, ilia, palaeogama, unijuga and crataegi.
