Unmarked Dagger - Acronicta innotata

Unmarked Dagger - Acronicta innotata
Dixville, Coos County, New Hampshire, USA
September 22, 2009
I'm not sure what tree this came out of, since I found it on my arm when I was back in the car.

Moved
Moved from Dagger Moths. Wagner Owlets, pg 286

Not an ID...
... but possibly consider Speared dagger moth, Acronicta hasta , or Streaked dagger moth, Acronicta lithospila .

 
I'm leaning towards
A. hasta, but an early instar. I'm temped to move it, but won't unless someone else agrees. Thanks for the help Carmen.
