The genome sequence of the Oak Eggar, Lasiocampa quercus Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae)

<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of <ns3:italic>Lasiocampa quercus</ns3:italic> (Oak Eggar; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lasiocampidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 566.08 megabases and 523.83 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.95%) is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.44 kilobases. </ns3:p>
