Hi Ann. Pls add this lovely spotting to our Moth mission - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1591.... When you have time, we would appreciate if you can add as well the rest of your beautiful moth collection. Thanks Ann!! :)
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if the children are called Tea Looper caterpillars - can you call the parents Tea Looper moths?
Updated ID. Not sure if I've got the common name right...
It looks to me like Biston suppressaria

Could the genus be Hypomecis?
I think this is the same species as this one:

Anyone have an idea about the ID?
