Wikipedia Abstract

Pseudohemihyalea edwardsii, Edwards' Glassy-wing, is a moth in the Arctiidae family. It was described by Packard in 1864. It is found from western Oregon and the Columbia Gorge in southern Washington south to California, in the south-west east to western New Mexico. The habitat consists of oak woodlands and mixed hardwood forests at low elevations. The larvae feed on Quercus species, including Quercus garryana and Quercus chrysolepis. They are densely covered with long hairs. These are black dorsally and reddish-brown laterally. There are also sparse long white hairs.
