I found my first Hemileuca moth this year, one of my favorite local moths.

Hemileuca maia (Eastern Buckmoth) is a widespread species. In parts of its range it’s a common pest, in other parts it’s endangered or threatened. In Massachusetts it’s threatened due to habitat loss. #buckmoth #moth #insects_of_our_world #igcb_mothmondays #entomology #lepidoptery #hemileuca #hemileucamaia #blackandwhite
