Tiger Moth
How do Harnessed Tiger Moths make their nest (Woolly Bears)?
I have a ton of Harnessed Tiger Moths where I live, so I want to try to keep them in captivity. I know some larvae nests are like cobwebs on trees, however that doesn't seem to be the case for woolly bears.
Unfortunately I could not find any report on eggs of Harnessed Tiger Moths, Apantesis phalerata.
A related species, Fall Webworm Moth, Hyphantria cunea lays eggs in groups of 400-500 on underside of host plant leaves.
Host plants of Apantesis phalerata are e.g. Plantago, Spartina, Taraxacum, Trifolium, Zea . Might be you find a nest on them, but I cast doubt on this because of missing any publication.
Best way might be to catch some of the typical larvae while feeding on clover, dandelion, plantain, and other low-growing plants.
They are active at daytime and if disturbed will roll into a tight spiral.
