Moths of the Douglas Lake Region (Emmet and Cheboygan Counties), Michigan: II. Noctuidae (Lepidoptera)

(excerpt) The two counties which share the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, Emmet on the west and Cheboygan on the east, have long been taken to define the principal region under study by the University of Michigan Biological Station, situated since 1909 on Douglas Lake in Cheboygan County near the Emmet County line

Moths of the Douglas Lake Region (Emmet and Cheboygan Counties), MIchigan: I. Sphingidae - Ctenuchidae (Lepidoptera)

Excerpt: For more than 60 years, workers at the University of Michigan Biological Station have been concerned with the flora and fauna of the Douglas Lake Region - now generally defined, for ease of boundaries. as Emmet and Cheboygan counties, which share the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. In 1915, Paul S. Welch published a list of Lepidoptera taken in the immediate vicinity of Douglas Lake, based on collections made from 19 1 1 to 19 13. The list includes 16 species in the families here considered (those before the Noctuidae in most checklists). A somewhat larger number of species, 55, were attributed to one (usually Cheboygan) or both of these counties in Moore\u27s list of the moths of Michigan (1955) -- a few of them credited solely on the basis of Welch\u27s list. 1 am now able to list 73 species in these families, all represented by extant specimens, and it seems well to assemble the information into compact form, as has been done for the butterflies (Voss. 1954, supplemented by Voss & Wagner, 1956). Additional species will certainly turn up in future years, in the field or in unexamined collections

Moths of the Douglas Lake Region (Emmet and Cheboygan Counties), Michigan: VI. Miscellaneous Small Families (Lepidoptera)

Forty-seven species in nine families of Lepidoptera (Hepialidae, Psychidae, Alucitidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Limacodidae, Thyrididae, Pterophoridae, Epiplemi- dae) are listed with earliest and latest recorded flight dates in Emmet and Cheboygan counties, which share the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The records are from the principal institutional and private collections of Michigan moths and continue the documented listing of Lepidoptera in the region

Moths of the Douglas Lake Region (Emmet and Cheboygan Counties), Michigan: IV. Geometridae (Lepidoptera)

An account, with known flight periods indicated, of 165 species of Geometridae concludes listing of the macrolepidoptera from the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. About 44OJo of these are previously unreported for the region, and 12 species are previously unreported for Michigan in earlier lists for the state

Moths of the Douglas Lake Region (Emmet and Cheboygan Counties), Michigan: III. Thyatiridae, Drepanidae, Lasiocampidae, Notodontidae, Lymantriidae (Lepidoptera)

(excerpt) The first list of Lepidoptera for the Douglas Lake region (Welch 1915) included 12 species in the group of five families for which 55 species are now reported. This 358% increase ronly in part the result of enlarging the\u27 \u27region to include all of the two counties which share the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan) compares with an increase of 356\u274:- in the families Sphingidae-Ctenuchidae (Voss 1970) and 623% in the Noctuidae (Voss 1981). Only the Geometridae remain to complete recording the consider- able expansion of our knowledge of the local macro1epidopteran fauna over the past 70 years

A Pyralid Moth (Lepidoptera) as Pollinator of Blunt-Leaf Orchid

(excerpt) As early as 1912, mosquitoes were observed bearing the pollen masses (pollinia) of the blunt-leaf orchid, Habenaria obtusata (Pursh) Richardson, in Reese\u27s Bog, a cedar swamp at the north end of Burt Lake, Cheboygan County, Michigan, near the campus of the University of Michigan Biological Station (Dexter 1913)
