Wow, different looking moth :)
Thanks Karen, I didn't know about the moth mission. I'll add all my moth and moth caterpillars to it.
What a beauty! Tom, please consider adding you lovely collect of moths to the Moths of the World mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841...
Thanks Chief RedEarth and bayucca.
Looks like a Dalceridae, Acraginae. Did not found a reasonable match.
Yuko, it does look like it's about to attack the sharpshooter, but its not really.
What a beautiful color! Looks like the moth is scaring the hopper (?) away. :-)
