Catepillars for which butterfly/moth? - Datana integerrima

Catepillars for which butterfly/moth? - Datana integerrima
Hernando, DeSoto County, Mississippi, USA
July 3, 2010
These catapillars are in a swarm on our black walnut tree, and I'm wondering what kind of butterfly/moth will they turn into?? They all "pulse" together, like a community twitch and will devour the entire walnut tree of it's leaves before they're mature.
