Zeuzera pyrina
Another very cool moth from my backyard in East Brunswick, NJ last night - Wood Leopard Moth (Zeuzera pyrina).
Suburban backyard with mature oak trees.
According to BG, it is not native to the US and was apparently introduced (from its native Europe?) in mid-1800s; first reported in North America at Hoboken, New Jersey in 1882. Visit National Moth Week for lots of cool moth information and and participate this summer: www.nationalmothweek.org
