These two individuals showed up 4 days apart this September in Washington 
County, TN.
I think they are both Orgyia sp. and lean toward Orgyia leucostigma - 
White-marked Tussock Moth - Hodges#8316,
but some of the images of Orgyia definita - Definite Tussock Moth - Hodges#8314 
look very similar to me.
 
Thanks in advance for replies,
