    Oh wow, that’s a good match! Too bad there is no species ID. Posted 6 years ago

      One other thing that I wanted to mention is that, as I was looking through Hylesia sp., I noticed that the males and females of the same species can have different color antennae...further complicating finding an ID. Posted 6 years ago

        Aha! Is there any pattern known, like males or females having the bright antennae? Posted 6 years ago

        I think it’s the males with the bright antennae. Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
