bronzed cutworm - Nephelodes minians

bronzed cutworm - Nephelodes minians
Milton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA
May 25, 2015
Size: about 25 mm
Presence high off ground at midday (they reportedly retreat to the thatch during daylight) and dark staining makes me wonder if this individual is parasitized. Grassy E slope, Unquity Dump, Blue Hills Reservation. Larger image.
