Callosamia promethea

Observation date: July 22, 2020
Submitted by: gravesjd@fronti...
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: We found about 30 of these on a Tulip Poplar tree in SE Lower Michigan. Would love to know what they are. The nearest I could find was Cinnabar Moth cat, but they eat Ragwort, not Poplar trees. Besides these have little black dots on one end. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
