Nectaring in Asclepias fascicularis .
Probably a female - see here: SDNHM .
Since there seem to be similar species, this may not be the correct ID.

2582 - Sycamore Borer Moth - Synanthedon resplendens
Looks like a match for specimen in Eichlin and Duckworth's MONA monograph, and also seems to be a match for their description in text.

Thanks, Bob,
perhaps I should invest in that tome if I expect to see other moths.
