Black oak leaf tier (?) - Lacosoma chiridota
Atco, Camden County, New Jersey, USA
June 19, 2015
Size: Center part 4mm?
Found on black oak leaf. I can't see well, but maybe there is a larva/pupa/empty pupal case type of thing on center part...
Who made this?

Moved from Sack-bearer Moths.
I've now reared enough Cicinnus and Lacosoma to be able to say this is definitely Lacosoma chiridota.

Moved from ID Request.

This appears to be an early instar Lacosoma chiridota, but I can't be certain it's not Cicinnus melsheimeri.
