Noctua pronuba

[Eric or Pat Metzler]

On Labor Day weekend I observed an adult of N. pronuba taking water from the
side of Cascadilla Creek in the gorge on Cornell University's campus during
the middle of the afternoon.  The moth was active during the day, although
the site was shaded, the moth flew around and settled more than once to get
water (and or other substances in the water).
