Ctenucha in Maine?
Hi,
We live in northern Maine, a bit above the 45 degree latitude line, and this fellow visited our back door light one night after days of rain. My questions: Is he a Ctenucha and is he native to our area or probably blown in with a storm? Thank you so much for your assistance — your web site is FANTASTIC!,
Janet

Hi Janet,
Even though it is commonly called the Virginia Ctenucha, Ctenucha virginica ranges into Canada.
