Ailanthus Webworm

Atteva aurea

Description:

The moth does not survive cold winters, but migrates north each year so it is commonly seen in summer throughout the continental US, and occasionally eastern Canada.

Habitat:

urban

Notes:

Spotted on Ailanthus growing unwanted beside my driveway. Right beside a few Ailanthus that the webworm caterpillars are feeding on. See my previous spotting.
