My sister just told me she has a huge infestation of these in the Pensacola Florida area. She's never seen them before, and guessing that they blew in from Katrina.

Bad bug to have in your garden. We had an infestation a few years back and they completely defoliated my azelea bushes. The parent moth is a tan color. We sprayed heavily with some ortho insect product since then and hand picked any larvae with tweezers and drowned them in a mixture of water and bleach/or vinegar (don't remember which). Have not had much of a problem since then.
They decimate my azaleas every year, and seem to always arrive with the Fourth of July fireworks displays! If something beautiful were fluttering around my garden after the fact, I'd not be so irritated by the event!
