Hmm, I suggest that you also look for Trabala sp., could nevertheless be one!
Yes, please, do that! I am absolutely not sure! I don't think it is a Trabala sp., also quite common (if not the most common Lasiocampidae in your area), another one would be the mentioned Kunugia sp., but there are certainly other ones. So, being common is always a good start, but nothing more! ;-)...
Thanks bayucca for the ID and assist. I still have to do more research on kunugia sp. though
Kunugia sp.?? http://www.meloidae.com/en/pictures/28434/
Lasiocampidae. Most of the pictures do not have an ID, so I would call it just Lasiocampidae. The links are just similar pictures to illustrate the family! http://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/7299265118/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/gbohne/5050724084/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/8007981018/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/7995347283/
