Recognized by sight: I am throwing this out there as a one size fits all label; obviously it is more complex than that, but perhaps this will help get the ID process started.

Summary: I checked my photos

of Luna moth – both emerging and after the fight. I found you are right. They are all white and furry. My old guy looked particularly infected; worse than this one – but it could easily be fur. Same as in this observation. Suggestion retracted. Thanks TimmiT!

Summary: Furry moth

It looks as though this just a moth with a furry body rather than a fungal infection. See this pic
