Purple-crested Slug Moth
This is a Adoneta spinuloides, # 4685, that has seen better days. :)

Moved to species page.

Thanks J.D.
If I get one that's in good condition, I'll replace this picture. For now, it's the only one from Massachusetts in the guide.

No worries
Even though this fella had an apparent fight with a bird, the quality of the photo is still very top notch in regard to lighting, clarity, and coloration.
