Fall Webworm Moths (Hyphantria cunea) are some of the most common native species in the US. This white moth has small differences from one area of the country to another when it comes to its looks.
Fall Webworm Moths are almost completely white in Northern US territories.
The species has brown spots across the forewings in the case of males for groups living in the South.
With a wingspan of up to 42mm, Fall Webworm moths also have a hairy upper body and are mostly seen on trees.
These white moths are major tree pests with limited to no impact on healthy trees. They specifically choose old trees or sick trees as hosts.
