What is this moth?
Dear Hurried Querent,
While we realize that you probably have places to go and people to see, it would have been nice to get a bit more information from you as opposed to a terse interrogation. This is some species of Buck Moth in the genus Hemileuca, and it is at this point that a location might have been extremely helpful. Our best guess is the New England Buck Moth, Hemileuca lucina. This group is known as Buck Moths since adults emerge in the fall during buck hunting season.
