Moth Identification

What is the best way to seek assistance in identifying a moth I encountered today? I am posting a photo in the ID Request area.

Ailanthus webworm, maybe?

Shape not unusual as insects go, but definitely unusual for moths - they're often mistaken for beetles.

Maybe you could include Beutenmueller's Slug Moth

Not sure how deep you want to go with this...

...But how about some of the Wasp Moths.

Such as (my favorite), the Scarlet-bodied Wasp Moth (Cosmosoma myrodora) or the Texas Wasp Moth (Horama panthalon).

This may get more in to the coloration difference than the shape difference which is the intent of your article but I thought I would mention these for your consideration.

Plume Moths?

I think that at least a few representatives from Family Pterophoridae would be quite useful. Many beginners don't even seem to recognize these guys as moths!

Nice idea for an article, J & J! Oh, and BTW, the words "moths" is misspelled in the last line.
