Unknown Moth,

[DR. JAMES ADAMS]

Paul,

 It always helps if you let us know *where* in the U. S. the moth is
from.  Still, your moth is almost unquestionably a male Anisota
virginiensis (or pellucida, depending on whether you believe in
raising pellucida to specific status and whether or not your moth is
from the SE).
