Pale beauty (Campaea perlata). Willistown, PA. June 2017.  This is a fairly common moth that comes to lights in the early summer. As a caterpillar, pale beauties feed on many different kinds of trees, including birches, elms, oaks, and willows. It is not a picky eater in the Mid-Atlantic.  Depending on the summer, there may be two generations in the Mid-Atlantic. Caterpillars are present from June onward, and resemble dead twigs. The caterpillars overwinter, and can occasionally be seen moving about on dead branches on unusually warm winter days.
