Illinois Catocala

The following information is taken from http://www.museum.state.il.us/research/entomology/leps_species4cnty.html

These checklists are compiled from Illinois State Museum specimens. Lack of reporting for a particular county does not indicate the species does not fly there. Look at neighbouring counties or the entire Illinois list to help identify a species.

I have indicated maximum and minimum known wingspans for each species and have put the different species into respective columns according to my interpretation of the hindwing colour. Framed specimens fade considerably when exposed to light. What one person sees as orange another may see as yellow! There is also some variation between live individuals.

Fifty-seven species are recorded for Illinois.
