Excerpt from The Alfalfa Looper

This insect, in the Palouse region of Washington, passes the winter as hibernating pupa and probably also as the adult moth, since much-battered adults are to be seen early in the spring. Late in May and throughout June the adults are to be seen in the alfalfa and clover, darting rapidly away when disturbed. They are active in bright sunlight, feeding on the nectar from the clover and alfalfa blossoms. The ¿ight, though short, is very direct and so rapid as to render the insect almost invisible.
