First Week of September
Monarch butterflies begin their long southward migration.
If tobacco hornworms are visiting your tomato plants, you may also find pupae of the parasitoid braconid wasps attached to the shriveled hornworms. They look a bit like small, white grains of rice.
Ruffed grouse broods begin to break up. Juveniles may move far away.
Luna moth larvae drop from their feeding trees and search for a suitable place to spin a cocoon in which the pupa will hibernate.

Second Week of September
When nights are cold, bumblebees will be found sleeping in flowers the next morning.
Mating season for moose begins and may continue to the first week in October.
The rusty red look of black locust leaves is probably the result of feeding by locust leaf miner larvae earlier in the summer. By now, the adult beetles have entered the litter for the winter.
Coopers hawks are heading south, picking off mourning doves and smaller birds on the way.
