I been tossing this moth around for several months, knowing I could ID it. Its just too distinctive. Well, I need some help, please?

Horned Spanworm Moth
You are right. It is distinctive. It is the Horned Spanworm Moth. Nematocampa resistaria

 
Thanks
Thanks for your help. Do you happen to know if Bug Guide searchs "Remarks?" I always try to add identifiers of how I would search but don't repeat anything in remarks.

 
I think it does
you could always test that by planting an unlikely word like elephant and trying a search on it. : ) Actually I just searched elephant and coame up with a lot of comments, but not this one. there may be a delay in getting picked up - I seem to remember that from other situations. Before you get too many images in the guide, think about putting your initials in your identifiers too - it can be very handy when you want to just look at your own moths, bees or whatever.

 
Best Answer I Heard
I went to home page and searched for "prophesy." this is the only return I got. Went back home and searched the assigned photo no. and guess what. Best answer, yet. Thank you.
