11065 - Orange Sallow Moth - Pyrrhia aurantiago

Hudson, NH

The caterpillar was on a Fern-leaved false Foxglove, where they feed on the seed heads. I'm not sure what the status is in NH, but in Massachusetts this moth is listed as Special Concern.

Superbly detailed shot. I gather this species is rare in Ontario. V
