A. senatoria is very similar (if even distinguishable as larvae) from the related A. peigleri. Both are found in Georgia.

Therefore, I would ID this particular specimen as A. peigleri, keeping in mind that the two species are very similar as larvae.

If this is a characteristic of A. peigleri, then I agree with your ID.
