For #MarshMadness and #WeevilWednesday I have a duckweed weevil, Tanysphyrus lemnae. The larvae mine through duckweed, leaving behind tiny characteristic holes in the floating leaves.
Today for #MarshMadness I have a salt marsh moth, Estigmene acrea. This one is a male, distinguished by his colorful hindwings. The caterpillars of the species can be found on a variety of hosts, even typically poisonous ones, due to their ability to detoxify pyrrolizidine alkaloids, sequestering the metabolites and converting them into sex pheromones as adults.
