Another striking moth. I think that this one is the giant leopard moth (Hypercompe scribonia). Is there anyone out there who can confirm or deny? 🌿

Leopard moth outside work today as I left. They like light, which it knew would be right there in a few hrs.... Probably male. (Hypercompe scribonia) #entomology #moth #bugs #wings
Beautiful all white moth with black spots on wings, big dots on head. Arms black, with tiny white marks. On chipped cement with crystal rock in it.

Found in the grass in the yard, I used a hydrangea leaf to pick this caterpillar up to avoid urticating hairs which I fear it has.
A giant leopard moth caterpillar I believe, Hypercompe scribonia.

The Giant Leopard Moth

This caterpillar (Hypercompe scribonia) is covered in stiff black hairs called "setae" and rolls into a ball when threatened. Despite its appearance, it’s harmless and lacks venom or stingers.

A macro photo of the thorax and wing joint of the giant leopard moth. There are shiny metallic blue oblong spots on the white of the thorax. A dark inverted triangle tinged with metallic blue rests just between where the wings come together. The wings are white with dark rings which look black from this angle, but when the light is right, are metallic blue .

Another wonderful caterpillar in our yard this morning. This is a giant leopard moth larva (Hypercompe scriponia). The adult is a large white moth with hollow black spots.

I forgot to include this into the last post, but this is the caterpillar of the Giant Leopard Moth, Hypercompe scribonia. Aka the Wooly Bear #Caterpillar. While this one does not have venomous hairs, many do and it is best to avoid touching them!

It’s a giant leopard moth (Hypercompe scribonia). They’re here in DMV. Very startling to see one since it’s so white!

It’s important to really savor every syllable of “Hypercompe scribonia”

I like to say it like a simple country lawyer, thumbs tucked into my imaginary suspenders

se eu não estiver errado, essa é uma 'Hypercompe', vira uma mariposa-leopardo LINDÍSSIMA

não sei dizer se a lagarta é urticante, mas sempre dá pra manejar pegando um pote grande transparente e passando uma folha embaixo pra capturar o bicho
