The virginia ctenucha (Ctenucha virginica) is a beautiful moth that is known for its black-blue metallic wings and the orange head, making it stick out when compared to other moths. Their caterpillar forms are fuzzy yellow and black. Despite their name, they are not exclusive to Virginia. They are known to travel as far north as the middle of Canada.

The spotted tussock moth (Lophocampa maculata) gets its name from the long tufts of hair it has as a caterpillar. The adults are a mix of yellow and brown while the larvae are a fuzzy pattern of yellow and black. These larvae are pests because they consume a wide range wood, including birch, oak, maple, and willow.

Adults are tan with chainlike light brown markings and a brown line with a small white dot.

The hickory tussock moth caterpillars look cute. Its body is completely covered by long and soft hair, which is mainly white with a thick black line along the middle of the back, and four longer black hair bundles at either end. You had better not to touch them, because these little ones may cause itchy rashes (contact dermatitis). By the way, this species is widely distributed in the eastern half of North America.
