This one-of-a-kind framed collection displays 5 species of sheep moth in the genus Hemileuca. All 5 moth species are native to North America. The specimens are arranged in a scientific display and are each labeled with both their common and scientific names.
While Hemileuca eglanterina is the most well known sheep moth, the common name “sheep moth” or “buck moth” may refer to any moth species within the genus Hemileuca. This genus of moths are popular among entomology collectors due to their variability in coloration and wing pattern. Some species have striped black and yellow abdomens as adults in order to mimic wasps and avoid predation.
