Great leopard moth
Scientific name: Ecpantheria scribonia (Stoll)
(Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)
Facts: This moth can be quite common under lights in some years. The fuzzy caterpillars are often seen migrated across roads and they have black hairs with a pink body underneath. There is confusion with the common name "leopard moth" which is also used for a moth in the carpenter moth family Cossidae.
