Nuttall's sheepmoth
Hemileuca nuttalli

Observation date: July 18, 2023
Submitted by: flyinganvil
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This moth was on the pavement next to my car at a highway rest stop, in the shade of the car. I initially thought that the moth was dead, but it moved when I touched it. It looked much more orange in person -- the white balance is off in the photo due to lighting conditions.
