orange-striped oakworms - Anisota senatoria

orange-striped oakworms - Anisota senatoria
Mableton, Cobb County, Georgia, USA
August 22, 2005
Size: about 2 inches
Orange-striped oakworms covered the small tree eating away, what happened to these? I understand they pupate in the ground, these don't really look like they are still alive, they look like empty husks. They covered a couple of branches in clusters.

Exuviae?
Could simply be shed "skins," leftover from molting? They sure did defoliate that tree!

Ansisota senatoria
According to the lepidopterists I've spoken to, A. senatoria doesn't occur in Georgia, only A. peigleri. They say it's southern range ends somewhere around the southern border of Kentucky and Virginia. James Adams is one of the sources if you would like to confirm.
