Moved

Moved from Moths. No need to put the taxonomy in your title -it shows up on the page when located correctly in the guide.

Nice shot!

Yes, and Orgyia definita, I believe

see guide page. The only one that's so yellow.

I love the black filaments because...

they remind me of bird's plumes on a vintage lady's hat. Mother Nature's doing fashion statements! :}
