Pink-striped oakworm moth
Anisota virginiensis

Observation date: April 26, 2017
Submitted by: bakerk123
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On Wednesday, April 26, 2017, I found an orange moth resting on one of my screen doors. It remained in place for another 24 hrs before moving on. Your website helped to identify it as the Anisota senatoria, female. Your data shows it only as far south as Georgia, so I thought you would like to know that she arrived in Melbourne, Florida in late April 2017. I am submitting one photo. I have others, if requested.
