My mother spotted this handsome moth first at her house near Boerne last Saturday. "That's a black witch!" I exclaimed. We were all thrilled to see this beautiful, huge species. (Hers was a male; females have a pink line running across their wings.) Check out Texas entomologist Mike Quinn's natural and cultural history of the black witch (Ascalapha odorata) here.
