👍 I think I've seen the same cats over here. A big mass of them on a walnut tree.

Pecans, walnuts and hickories are all in the same family, Juglandacaea.
So these moths feed easily on all Juglands.
The moth is a 'Promenant'.
Some species, including this one, Datana integerrima, feed in groups.
'The other', (good Thomas Tryon gothic horror book) looks to be a plant hopper eclosing.
