Vol. 119 (2022): Journal of the Entomological Society of British Columbia

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.
