Painted tiger moth? - Arachnis
Peña Blanca campground, Pajarito Mountains, W of Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA

I think this might be Painted tiger moth - Hodges#8152 (Arachnis picta). Seen at UV lights. There were some A. aulaea the previous nights about 50 miles away, but this one has more orange markings on the legs and head, lighter gray markings and didn't appear greenish. Thank you for your help.
