Unusual Pink, Orange and Black Moth (possibly underdeveloped in pupal stage?) on White Clover - Submitted by Caller - Hemileuca eglanterina
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
July 22, 2014
Size: Small
Sighted by a lady who "said this "beemoth" was crawling on her white clover (which shows in the other photo so you can judge the size) and then it crawled into the grass, shown here. It crawled fast but clumsily."
