Cyclophora packardi? - Cyclophora nanaria
Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana, USA
September 19, 2019
On 9 Sept. 2019 I used a sweep net in annual ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) and found two caterpillars. Unfortunately, I did not get pictures of the caterpillars. They were reared on ragweed and eclosed on 25 Sept. Adult photos are from each individual.

Thanks!
Thank you for letting me know this. I appreciate it. C. nanaria is a better match given its host plant preference.
