excellent moth - I'm amazed at how many interesting forms these take
Those white markings seem to be key for ID-ing these moths... (As far as I've gathered after 5 mins of internet surfing!!) See e.g. See Page 252 & 255: http://books.google.com/books?id=N10sAEH...
I'll also be interested in the results of your research! :-)

It does look like that Ashish, I got the tobacco looper id from a local moth expert. I'll have to find out what the differences are and have a closer look into the proper identification.
