    Possibly Hylesia sp. because of the long hairs, but I am not at all sure. Can't find a match so far. Posted 6 years ago

      Coloradia sp. and Hemileuca sp. are also similar, so maybe something in the tribe Hemileucini. Posted 6 years ago

        Thanks! Coloradia seems to have a few similar ones with the banded body, whilst Hemileuca has some insanely beautiful ones. Posted 6 years ago

          Yep, definitely. No matches yet though! Those long hairs are so distinct that I had hoped this would be an easy one ;) Posted 6 years ago
