Hemileuca nevadensis

Hemileuca nevadensis, the Nevada buck moth, is a species in the family Saturniidae.

They range from the west coast all the way east to Wisconsin and Michigan.

There have been a few sightings in New York, but not enough to confirm it as a localized species.

There is one brood between September and December during that time the adult will lay eggs in rings around the twigs of the host plant.
