We get two species of Haploa in Nova Scotia, H. lecontei and H.confusa. =
They are very similar (and similar to contigua), but can be separated =
with practice. They are variable and come in a bewildering range of =
patterns. Not much is known about confusa in Nova Scotia although it is =
common in New Brunswick. It is either a recent member of our fauna or =
was originally mistaken for lecontei.  Both species are found in wet =
meadows or stream and river margins and both fly during the day as well =
as at night. They are members of the Tiger Moth family (Arctiidae).
