Wildlife Spotting

After a wrong ID of Leucostigma I am a little bit careful with these ones. Detrita is the most common tussock moth in Florida and compared with Leucostigma with these "yellowish" warts which are missing in Leucostigma. But I am not 100% sure... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/9100506 http://bugguide.net/node/view/501065/bgimage http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=8313 Interesting is the fact that female Orgyia can't fly, looks like a cocoon, stays next to the empty cocoon and dies after having laid its eggs. The males itsleves are extremely nervous flyers looking for resting females and will be attracked by pheromones.

Very nice!
