Pink-striped oakworm moth
Anisota virginiensis

Observation date: May 11, 2024
Submitted by: TysonCJ2011
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Upon moving large potted plants under a shady tree, the two mating moths were seen on the side of one pot. It was a sunny spring day, but the large tree provided much shade after 4 straight days of rain. The moths never moved once during the moving around of the pots, and we stopped once we saw them
