I found a huge orange and yellow moth 2 1/2 to 3 inches long, very thick, hairy, and i found on a maple leaf. Its body is very simular to the rosy maple moth but the colors are not. I am wondering what type of moth it is and if it has any value?

It's a hurt one if you were "woundering" it.

Moths belong in the order Lepidoptera, the same as butterflies. Depends on the region of the country where you live, the kind it is but most moths are destructive. This time of the year the moths are eating and getting fat so they can mate in about Sep.-Oct. The kind of tree you found it on, especially if it was eating, may help you with identification.

Hello,
Maybe you've seen a Eacles oslari. I'm not sure what part of the country you're from, but check the link and scroll down to see some of the natural color variations of this species.
