Remember my previous post on winter moths?

Well here is an update.

One of the women in the lab I work at brought in 3 females that had been outside her home. If you remember from that other post, the females don’t fly and don’t have developed wings. Lucky for you an me, I happened to have my camera at work that day.

Note the size difference between the female and the dime.

And in the picture below you can see the long scales on the non-functional wings.

You can imagine what they chock that abdomen full of…eggs.

Quite a striking difference between the males and females, don’t ya think?
