Hi Gang

Found this young lady and she offered herself and some eggs!

You can see scale imprints on the second egg shot. Kind of like
fossils!

Very nice. I have a related species in my area, and I often see their larvae in colonies on oak. Interesting that these are in the same group as hickory horned devils, which are our largest caterpillar. The moth here is like a miniature of the moth of that species.
