087e What am I?

            Ailanthus Webworm Moth

The definitive coloring and stripes on this moth make it unique among Webworm Moths. They tuck and roll their wings close to their bodies when resting, making themselves look more like a beetle.

Adults are active in the daytime and can be seen from spring through autumn.

This moth gets its name from the Ailanthus tree, where its larvae make webs on leaves. The grayish caterpillars feed on the foliage of the tree.
