Adult Female - Orgyia antiqua - Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada August 27, 2012
I assume this is a wingless female moth laying eggs on the outside of the pupa she recently emerged from. I found her on the back of a plastic lawn chair I had set in long grass under a willow tree.
Total number of eggs she eventually laid: 334
