Red-headed Inchworm - Macaria bisignata

Red-headed Inchworm - Macaria bisignata
Columbia, Boone County, Missouri, USA
July 10, 2016
Size: 28mm WS
Macaria can be difficult to differentiate. Based on appearance, markings, this could easily fit into Macaria aemulataria - Common Angle, however every one of those I've seen and photographed has remained true to the listed size range of 20-22mm. This one was measured accurately at 28mm WS. This one had a light brownish-yellow cast not created by the lighting. If there is better info on placing this one I'd be interested in seeing it, but this is best match I have.
