Found wandering on my dirt driveway on 4/6/2023. It accepted dandelion leaves. Orange spiracles.
Molted: 4/13/23
Purged: 4/21/23 so I gave it some dead beech leaves for cocoon purposes, which it confusingly began to consume.
Cocoon: 4/24/23 using some of its hair
Pupated: 4/27/23
Emerged: 5/16/23
Tawny virbia, maybe? Unfortunately I could not get any hindwing photos.

I saw this moth clinging to a stone wall across a bridge. I thought the black spot was part of it's wing. Only when I processed the photo did I realize to was a midge! I need to get my eyes checked...
