Painted Lichen Moth, larva, dorsal - Hypoprepia fucosa

Painted Lichen Moth, larva, dorsal - Hypoprepia fucosa
Ames - Tullamore, Story County, Iowa, USA
June 14, 2009
June 14, 2009: collected larva on the front porch, had no idea what it was or what to feed it.
Found a similar photo in the Wagner book and gave the larva lichen covered bark

July 10, 2009: adult emerged but I was hours away from Story County (with all rearing containers). B Norris was heading to Ames and agreed to take the moth. He set it free where the larva was originally collected.
