Virginian Anisota — Plate VIII, Fig. 9
Virginian Anisota — Plate VIII, Fig. 9

The male insect has the fore wings almost transparent about the middle, as is the case with Anisota senatoria, as has already been pointed out, but the female is not heavily spotted, as is the case in that species. The caterpillar feeds upon oaks. The moth has the same geographical distribution as the preceding species.
