@olive-branch-dressing submitted: I found this cool (and pretty) moth about a month ago and am curious to know what species it is. Location: near [removed] [please remove location]

Excellent fuzz. It's a tiger moth in the genus Spilosoma, and I think probably an agreeable tiger moth, Spilosoma congrua.

@draac-the-drifter submitted: Found this lil dude just chillin on my house once!! I dunno what kind of moth they are, but I live in Virginia around the Appalachian mountains. Do you think you could ID them for me?

Suuuure looks like a tiger moth in Spilosoma, either a Virginian tiger moth which is the most likely or an agreeable tiger moth. They look super super similar so I'd need to see the underside to tell them apart.

@mounmantaka submitted: What’s this fat lil floof? Its from south central PA

VERY fuzzy. What a delight. It's a tiger moth in the genus Spilosoma, so either a Virginian tiger moth or an agreeable tiger moth. I'd need to see the top of the abdomen to say for sure - the Virginian tiger moth has black and yellow on the abdomen and the agreeable tiger moth's abdomen is all white :)
