NMW2016 - Moth 11 - Phragmatobia fuliginosa
Ojiketa Regional Park, Chisago County, Minnesota, USA
July 27, 2016
Size: 1 in
Size approximate. Had red on hind wings when flew. Is this a Ruby Tiger Moth (Phragmatobia fuliginosa, #8156)? Seems rather dark, and that's how it actually looked. This is not an artifact of the lighting in the picture.

Ruby Tiger looks good
I can see traces of red under the head plus it has the one black dot on the wing.
