Oakworm Moth - Anisota senatoria - Female
Parkwood, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
July 13, 2005
Size: length 27 mm
This female was reared from one of the pupa linked below. The rearing jar was being kept outside in a shady area, and this female (and another male) emerged a day or two before I found them. This female did damage her wings, but the photos shows the pattern for this species. The male was even more worn, but they did manage to mate and lay eggs:
