The white-marked tussock moth is a moth whose caterpillar is brightly coloured and covered in hairs. It is very common in late summer in eastern North America, and its hairs can cause an allergic reaction in many people who touch them.1

Fatgs

The four white tufts on the caterpillar's back may mimic the cocoons of parasitic wasps.1

Large caterpillars are mostly eaten by birds, while small caterpillars mostly disappear while dispersing.1

The fungus Entomophaga maimaiga was introduced to North America to control the spongy moth, and it also infects this species.1

There are two or more generations each year in eastern North America, and the eggs overwinter.1
