Thanks for the ID, Ornithoptera80! I suppose some of these the white spot is absent or nearly so?
Ornithoptera80
i think you are right! This matches much closer. I greatly appreciate you help me to ID this correctly.
Thank you, Ampics! They were rather pretty even though we had not planted them. I think in the right spot they'd be nice in a garden.
Thank you ornithoptera80! Wonder if we could somehow narrow it down some more.
Thank you ornithoptera80! I believe that is what it is too!
ornithoptera80, do any of the first few instars of the tussucks not have any predominant bristles by chance too?
I see what you mean, Saturniidae27. Quite the mystery.
Thanks, ornithoptera80! Wonder if we could get it further narrowed down. I don't think I've seen one yet without the big front bristles, like the other tussock I found awhile back.
Yes it's at least that. Really hard to narrow down from there.
