Abstract

This manuscript discusses new distribution records for Hemileuca hera (Harris) in the Great Plains states of Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. In addition to older museum records not previously mentioned in the literature, we report recently discovered populations in Nebraska and South Dakota. Also discussed are observations of life history patterns seen in the Great Plains populations of H. hera.
