Automeris louisiana Ferguson and Brou 1981 Jour. Lepid Soc. – 'Saturnidae' Here is a saturnid, a ♂, I first discovered in 1974-1975. No one in North America thought we had a Saturnid moth that the larvae naturally fed upon a species of grass. Much of the vast prairies of cordgrass is khakie-colored, just as in the forewings of the adult moth. A color known to duck hunters as 'dead-grass green'. Only 2-3 years earlier (1972) the genus Automeris was revised in N.A. in the Moths of N.A. series by Doug Ferguson. I might add that numerous additional species of Automeris have been described during the past half century.
