There was even an insect, a winter moth, usually called Bruce spanworm,(Operophtera bruceata) fluttering around (and several of them on the farm yesterday). I thank Diane Lepage for identifying this moth for me from a photo taken in Larose Forest the other day. I've now seen them in about 4 different locations, including FWG, and Diane tells me they are quite common in late fall-early winter. This photo is from Larose as it is better than the one I took today
