Leopard Moth

Thanks Jakubko!

Ooh a Morpheis! Beautiful spotting!

Yes, I have seen that. And if you look at the BOLD link from Clenchi, you will see all possible variabilities of this aera...

Here's a picture of Morpheus clenchi on Bugguide that has a solid dark top of the thorax.

Thanks bayucca, I have a hard time comparing pinned specimens to live moth pictures.

Cossidae, Zeuzerinae, Morpheis sp. There are a lot of different and similar species around. Unfortunately most of them are shown as museum specimen. Yours might be Morpheis pyracmon or Morpheis clenchi (or another one). I do not feel comfortable enough to get closer than the genus.
