Halysidota harrisii (sycamore tussock moth) is a species of moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in South-Eastern Canada, the Eastern parts of the United States (but not Florida) and North-Eastern Mexico. The wingspan is about 50 mm. The moth flies from May to June and from July to August depending on the location.
The larvae feed on the American sycamore tree (Platanus occidentalis). An overpopulation of the insect can be damaging to sycamore trees. The ideal way to manage the moth and caterpillar populations is to foster a healthy bird population.[citation needed]
The sycamore tussock moth caterpillar has been known to cause urticaria (hives) to those who touch its hairs. This defense mechanism protects the caterpillar from potential predators.[citation needed]
