Orange Striped Oak Moth
Hey bugman, A few weeks ago, I e-mailed you about some moths that were all over my building at work in Riverhead, NY. Our tree company identified them for us, but you do not have a picture of them on your website. Here is a picture of the Orange Striped Oak Moth. Maybe you can put it on your site for others to see. Thanks for your time.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the letter and photo. We also located a link that talks about how this moth appears in great numbers. The Orange Striped Oak Moth, Anisota senatoria, is a close relative of the Virginian which we do have images of.
