Figured Tiger Moth - Hodges#8188 - Apantesis figurata
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
October 15, 2011
Size: Maybe around 20 mm?
Found under the the weather stripping at the bottom of the garage door (when I opened the door). Probably looking for a place to pupate, but gives little hope of figuring out the host plant.

We think we might see a white dorsal stripe
so we would suggest Apantesis, but....??

Not sure
I don't see a stripe in the full-size image or in any of the other 20 shots. I added another in case it helps. Grammia?

Yes, what we saw is clearly not a stripe.
Then this keys to Grammia figurata, but we wish we had a better feel for these guys.
