Unfrass the Unlovely but Unique Photos
6861 - Neoterpes edwardsata

OK, circumstances limited you to a couple of crummy photos. But, Hey!, they're all we've got to look at. I won't show these at MPG (where we at least have spread specimens) because you will only replace them later with much better pics. But they are very worth having here at BG.N until then. Frass 'em later.

Thanks, Bob -
good plan, & I might even see one again in my garden.
Update - 04/24/09: upon returning from the Lorquin meeting I found one of these on my front porch. I'll post a preliminary photo* tonight & will try some more tomorrow.

Maybe a Linden Looper?
or something related. I know there is wide variation in markings.
