Mottled Bomolocha - Hypena palparia
Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA
May 17, 2020
A Looper moth of some kind? Found it Sunday afternoon after it settled on a rock. I had to pick the rock up and move it, as it was hiding in the dark and cooler crevices. Aside from the image for identification I noticed it had 3 long "toes" on its foreleg but the image didn't turn out well.
