Snapdragon-eating Tobacco Budworm? - Chloridea virescens
Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, USA
September 12, 2017
Seen in late afternoon. Eating snapdragon buds. I couldn't figure out why my blooms were so pathetic. Perhaps this is why. :) There are also two suspicious blobs I caught in the picture (not shown) that I suspect are eggs? Is this Chloridea virescens (#11071)?

Chloridea virescens - Tobacco Budworm Moth - Hodges#11071
is what we would have suggested, but it is a tough group. The key in "Owlets" page 345 seems to take you right there.
