2026 Editor's Note: Commonly known as the sloping sallow moth, this species is found across a broader range than historically recorded, extending from Quebec and Maine to South Carolina, and as far west as Alberta and Kansas. While the adult Epiglaea decliva is typically active in the fall, the species overwinters as an egg before larvae emerge in late spring. (Ed: GG 2026-08-11)
