She says its a salt marsh moth. The caterpillars can cause skin irritation so you should be careful.

The Apple Ermine appears to possibly be what you have. They originated in Europe but like many other pests have somehow made it to America. Very similar to our hated tent caterpillar moths. They can and will defoliate fruit trees.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632340464500076794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-81732034670327059012021-08-13T06:46:15.678-07:002021-08-13T06:46:15.678-07:00I thought ALL moths were clothes eating larva at s...I thought ALL moths were clothes eating larva at some stage in their development. Never gave it much thought, just killed any moth I found inside my house as well as every catapillar I'd find crawling around on my floor or walls.

Those seem to be from European countries. According to Wikipedia, there is several hundred species, mostly in the tropics, with 5 or 6 sub-families. There is an American Ermine, but its dots are in rows, not random like this one. But it sure looks to be a Ermine moth of some kind.
