Form pennsylvanica Smith, Plate XL, Fig. 24, Male.

The moth emerges in the very early spring, and may be found where it is common, seated about three inches from the end of twigs in the woodlands, with its wings folded about the twig in such a way as to elude the observation of those who are not familiar with its habits. The form pennsylvanica is found in both sexes in every brood. It represents a curious case of dimorphism.
