Silky Sallow Moth - Hodges #9950 - Chaetaglaea sericea
Mobile (Dog River), Mobile County, Alabama, USA
November 5, 2008
I initially though I had a Roadside Sallow. However, I have not yet found a sallow moth with the prominent row of black spots on the FW border. I've browsed MPG and Google to no satisfaction. I will graciously accept help :)

Looks Like 9950 – Chaetaglaea sericea
There are several moths of about the same range of coloration that all display the vein pattern. But they do not all show the pale-and red edging along the inner margin as does this one.

Thanks, Bob
Appears I have the second one on Bug Guide. What a great way to head into the weekend. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
