Vol. 119 (2022)Fingered dagger moth (Acronicta insita Walker, 1856) enjoying morning dew at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George, British Columbia. As adults, these moths are characterized by a dagger-like pattern on their wings, but larvae of this species display vibrant orange hairs and striking black tufts. This caterpillar was found beside a trail in Forests for the World, which serves as both a demonstration forest to the university and a park to the community as a whole.

Image cover: A female goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) on a prickly rose (Rosa acicularis) that just captured a caterpillar in the River Valley of Edmonton on 13 June 2021. Goldenrod crab spiders are widely distributed across Canada and are commonly encountered in open areas patiently sitting on flowers waiting for prey to approach. Although pollinators (flies, butterflies, bees, hoverflies, etc.) are a significant component of their diet, they also take the opportunity to feed on other invertebrates. The photo was taken by Jaime Pinzon whose son spent half an hour watching the spider and exclaimed “Oh, the kiss of death!”, when the spider finally met its prey.
