We would keep them

especially since the perspective is different from most of the other shots which will help folks ID future images.

Ah! We remember now

How about Evergestis pallidata? Nothing confirmed on BugGuide yet, but plenty of images on the web.

Is there any possibility that

this is a Haploa?

… john and jane balaban, 5 January, 2012 - 1:25pm

Could it be

Panthea?

I don't know

I have Haploa in the yard and have images of them posted here. This one seems pretty "bald" down the center of the back. I've uploaded larger files in case they help.

Looked through my entire copy

Looked through my entire copy of Wagner, Cat. of No. America, and came up empty.

The closest I found was the idia moth... or the aphrodite fritillary... and neither is all _that_ close.

this is the Common idia

Thanks

Appreciate the effort. I went through 6 caterpillar books, google, all of BugGuide caterpillars, sawflies, and syrphid flies. At this point I would be happy with knowing the answer to "Caterpillar - Yes or No".
BTW - I cheated off you again and will be posting some more moths later.

This is one site where cheati

This is one site where cheating is encouraged, especially if it helps you figure out an ID! 8:)

BTW, I have a new photo I have to put from this past week. The one 40 or 50 degree day, I spied a moth on my front steps... never seen this type before, and likely the little guy/gal didn't get to complete the mission of mating before getting frozen the next day.
