Moved
Moved from Tussock Moths. Wagner, pg 446, talks about a Dasychira dominickaria which feeds on Bald Cypress, but if these are from eggs on a wingless female's cocoon, this must be Orgyia, no?

Lymantriidae
Some sort of tussock moth. The females, which are wingless, lay their eggs on their cocoons.
