Thanks, Moni, for your work with identifying this insect and posting it so that I can show my 2nd grader what she found. I was lost trying to identify it myself, so I really appreciate your help!!

This is a spiny oakworm moth. It is one of the silkworm moths - family Saturniidae.
These are found from northeast US and southern Ontario south to Florida then west to MN and south to TX.
The caterpillars feed on oak, tho have been reported to feed on hazel and basswood.

Here are other photos on bugguide - http://bugguide.net/node/view/441/bgimage
