It's my man Bob to the rescue!!! Yeah, yeah, no rsvp... I know... but this one was driving me nuts. Red-necked peanutworm, what a name! Insulting all those rednecks like that. 8;)

actually...
I think this falls lower in the Hodges #s, the pre-torts through Gelechiidae... just my opinion though. Perhaps someone better with these "little guys" will give better direction, b/c even within the groups above, I can't seem to find a match (I went through 0001-4863, as well as microcrambus)

LOL
Me, too. I was thinking I had seen one before and could not find anything. It looks like a Mardi Gras throw.
