Moved- more specific locale requested
Moved from Giant Silkworm and Royal Moths.

Please provide a more detailed location (county and/or town at least) other than simply "Adirondacks" which is a huge expanse of forest. The specific region in upstate NY that this species inhabits is of interest to those studying the ongoing range expansion of this species southward in NY.
