Moth ID - Anisota virginiensis - female

Moth ID - Anisota virginiensis - Female
Norfolk, Virginia, USA
August 16, 2009
Size: ~24-28mm head to wingtip
Subspecies Anisota virginiensis pellucida? If so then I think this would be a first for VA and at the top of its range in the southern US. This one had apparently finished laying eggs on the oak leaf it was resting on.
