Atteva aurea (Ailanthus Webworm Moth)

With the proliferation of Ailanthus trees throughout our region, it isn’t too surprising that the Ailanthus webworm moth is also fairly common. They are quite distinct and fairly easy to spot, with their white, orange, and black wings. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get both wings and head in focus in one shot. This was the best I could do without a tripod.
