Possibly the reticulate bagnest moth, also known as the processionary worm - the caterpillars follow one another, forming long lines.

LuckyLogan, thank you for loving my children, that how big a moth maniac I am, but the antennae I found not all are the same, some time ago I had a 'male' moon moth lay eggs on my finger,this moth had big feather antennae, but that is only my observation.

I love your moth spottings Altha! I feel like I favorite them all. Quick question, I read that in the genus Acronicta, males have the feather like antennae and females do not. is this true with all moths?
