Nice shot of a striking moth
Gosh, must be nice to be able to encounter bugs year round. Although I must say, this Wisconsin winter downtime is allowing me to do some organizing of my photos and notes :)

Very lovely.
It's a Buck moth... Here's a photo of Hemileuca maia from Florida . I think that is the only species in your area.
