io moth - Automeris io (Fabricius) (Fabricius) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) (Fabricius), is a colorful North American moth that has a short life span as an adult. Emerging at mid-day, mating takes place that evening. However, the much longer-lived larvae are noteworthy for their urticating or "stinging" spines and setae (BMNA 2010).
