Yellow flame 2 - Truncaptera inopinata Montosa Canyon, Santa Rita Mts., Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA August 5, 2008 Size: 30-40mm
2nd specimen of c-pillar feeding on Native Cotton, Gossypium thurberi. I looked through food plants of leps web site and various books I have without success, assuming this c-pillar is monophagous on cotton, I'm at a loss. ID help would be appreciated.
