Arachnic aulaea (8155)
I collected one specimen three years early in the same location.

Reminds us of the genus Arachnis
images in the guide here. Specifically maybe 8155 - Arachnis aulaea. You can see Jim Vargo's image at MPG here

Hello John:

After more looking I believe you are right. The moth "Arachnis aulaea" just has to be this moth.

Good,
Hopefully one of the moth specialists will chime in and confirm (or correct) us.

Thanks John, I believe these two belong to this group but I can not find a match. The different between the two, shown in the pictures, is small but enough to make me wounder if they are the same sp.
