Citheronia sepulcralis

Citheronia sepulcralis, the pine-devil moth, is a Nearctic member of the family Saturniidae and of the subfamily Ceratocampinae.

The species was first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote and Coleman Townsend Robinson in 1865.

[1] The adults fly in broods and can be found in various parts of the United States over the year.

[4] The eggs hatch after 7 to 10 days, and the caterpillars start feeding almost immediately.

Females lay egg in groups of 1 to 3 on pine needles the next night.
