George + Eastern Tent Caterpillar Moth

This moth was one I found back in July; I coaxed it onto a tree for its photograph, and the process of moving around a live moth (I had fished it off the wall out of my reach with a stick) caught George's imagination. He's been showing me every moth he finds ever since.

It's an Eastern Tent Caterpillar Moth (Malacosoma americana), Wentworth NH, 7/20/2014.
