Hemileuca nuttalli

Hemileuca nuttalli
(Strecker, 1875) Pseudohazis Nuttalli

Hemileuca nuttalli female, W of Durango, La Plata County, Colorado,
65mm, 23 July 2002, 6000 feet, courtesy/copyright Charles Bordelon and Ed Knudson.

Charles Bordelon writes, "Though several of these were flying around when I was west of Durango 5 years ago, I only managed to catch one female. I was around 6000' feet on a ledge, so chasing these was not much of an option... They were around blue "scrub oaks," where Hypaurotis chrysaulis was perching. Nuttali just reaches this area, but I'd like to know more about this one."
