About Catocala connubialis Guenée, 1852
Catocala connubialis, commonly known as the connubial underwing, is a species of moth belonging to the family Erebidae. This species was first formally described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It is distributed in North America, ranging from Ontario to Prince Edward Island (including the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia) in the north, extending south to Florida and west to Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The wingspan of adult Catocala connubialis measures between 37 and 47 millimeters. Adult moths are active in flight from June through September, with timing varying based on location. The species likely produces only one generation per year. The larvae of Catocala connubialis feed on the plants Cephalanthus occidentalis, Melia azedarach, and Quercus rubra.
