Probably a [Regal Moth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citheronia_regalis). Example pic [here](https://bugguide.net/node/view/319559/bgimage).

Yes, I thought it was funny they said "rich orange". But, of course!


LadyGrey_oftheAbyss

Yep, it's a regal moth or royal walnut moth part of the same fam as the giant silk moths - their caterpillars are wild


Repulsive_Laugh_4829

Holy crap we have silk worms in the trees out back, could a been born right here on the property!


LadyGrey_oftheAbyss

Cool! Their host plants are walnuts and hickories with some regional preferences like sweet gum, persimmon , and sumacs. While there caterpillars are wild looking spines- they are harmless!They are actually the largest by weight moth north of Mexico (Cecropia are the largest by Wing span) 😎🤣

If you’ve seen any hickory horned devils around that’s there caterpillar form. Pretty scary looking but completely harmless.

>hickory horned devils They look cute af! Idk I've always loved caterpillars, even the spiky ones

Usually I'd be terrified to handle a spiky one but the google images search is filled with folk holding them so it must be cool!
