Spilosoma virginica
Hello, I have noticed you have changed the ID to the White Satin Moth, Leucoma salicis. The second photo shows the orange markings of the Virginia Tiger Moth, which is not found in the White Satin Moth. For example, check out this spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/666... This spotting shows that there are neither orange marks near the face or spots on the underside of the Satin Moth, as seen in yours. Here is a photo of what you have, the Virginia Tiger Moth: http://bugguide.net/node/view/646142/bgi... Notice the orange near the mouth parts. Could you please change the ID to Virginia Tiger Moth? Thanks!
