Buck Moth? -
Hemileuca maia
-
Bullitt County, Kentucky, USA
November 4, 2017
Buck Moth? attracted to the light on a warm November night. Can see another eye on hind wing with the backlighting sihining through the wings.
Are the adults safe to handle or do they sting like the cats?

Buck Moth?
Meant to post to ID request - can someone confirm this is a Buck Moth (Hemileuca maia)?
This is the first time I ever saw one....
