Orange-Tipped Oakworm Moth
Anisota senatoria
Summary 5
The Orangestriped oakworm (Anisota senatoria) is a Nearctic member of the family Saturniidae and subfamily Ceratocampinae. It is one of the more common Saturniids, reaching pest status occasionally in the northern parts of its range. As they are late-season feeders, however, they do little lasting damage to their hosts (most of the energy has been stored already). It is very similar to A. finlaysoni in southern Ontario and A. peigleri in the southern USA.
