Arivaca Creek, Buenos Aires NWR, Pima County, Arizona, USA
August 23, 2008
Size: ~45mm
Found on Euphorbia heterophylla (a poinsettia) or related plant. Found 3 individuals, all on plants of this species. Will post a second individual from another plant next. Based on Bugguide images, it resembles the Notodontid c-pillars. Can someone suggest a genus/species? Looked for Notodontids that fed on Euphorbia to no avail.

We also would have guessed Notodontid
but we didn't see anything on Bruce Walsh's website, not caterpillar images nor foodplants, that would give a clue to genus even :(

We'll be watching this one!
