Unknown Moth - Acharia stimulea
Georgetown, Floyd County, Indiana, USA
June 4, 2007
Size: about 3/4 inch
This moth was hanging on a blackberry leaf. At first glance, I thought it was a dead leaf. It stayed there throughout the evening, but was gone by early morning.

Limacodidae?
It looks like it could be a Limacodidae?
Possibly the Genus Acharia?
