I thought if I caught it, I might figure out what it is. Didn't happen.
Update: Thanks to BG and P Dennehy it did happen!

Moved from Rusty Virbia.

I was't sure about this one, so I asked around, and Chris Schmidt (a recognized expert in Arctiines) stated that this "is immaculata, which is not always immaculate." So I've moved it accordingly. Sorry for the double move!

 
That's just fine.
I'm happy to have a name. I doubt that I will ever be able to tell them apart.
