Anisota senatoria

Thanks, Ryan. Does this pertain to all pictures (the lighter green-yellow) and to the small white? Is there a name for the small early stages of larvae?

Oakworm

The species name applies to all the pictures, and the name "orange striped oakworm" is just the name for the larval Anisota senatoria. The larvae do change appearance as they grow, but "orange striped oakworm" simply pertains to the later instar larvae coloration.
