Reported as an adult
Usually reported as an adult mid-May to early July, middle week mid-June, and again mid-July to late August, middle week early August.
Reported as a caterpillar
Usually reported as a caterpillar early July to late September, middle week Sep 6–12.
From 173 records that are marked as caterpillars. Not every photo is marked with a life stage, so this shows when people reported it as a caterpillar, not when caterpillars are about.
What these results show
These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.
Identification
How to identify it
Telling it apart
From what Ohio’s records show. Only what the records support is shown.
Virginian Tiger MothSpilosoma virginicaOften confused in Ohio: 16 identifications in Ohio named one where the other was meant
Unexpected Cycnia MothCycnia collaris37 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
Banded Tussock MothHalysidota tessellaris16 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
Salt Marsh MothEstigmene acrea16 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
From iNaturalist’s similar-species counts, refreshed monthly: confusions in Ohio first, then worldwide. Only species with an Ohio result are listed.
When each is reported
All recordsUsually late May to mid-September, middle week early August · 887 records
Reported as a caterpillarUsually early July to late September, middle week early September · 173 records
Not every photo is marked with a sex or a sign, so these show when people reported each, not when it happens.

From 500 records placed within 100 m, beside all Ohio records placed the same way. People record where they go, so this shows where records come from, not where the species lives. Land cover: USGS Annual NLCD, 2025 (opens in a new tab)
Sources
Where these results come from
Records from iNaturalist research-grade observations and expert-identified GBIF datasets, CC0, CC BY and CC BY-NC. Sources
Seasons use the published method and its evidence thresholds. Methods
A spreadsheet (CSV) with a link to each record, on iNaturalist or GBIF. Records whose location was hidden by the observer or the source are counted but not linked.
