cat - Litoprosopus futilis

Looks like I see the white rings on this one too

What do you think?

Looks like there might be. Can not say for sure. The

parachuting down would be consistant. Seems like I can see it on the second photo too.

Moved from Butterflies and Moths. Yes, we see it too. What an unusual thing for someone to notice! Nice find!

Had you not gotten me to the right group, I would not

have been able to find that clue. This moth/cat was not in any of my referances. Thanks.

How about

Looks like a good possibility. Found a photo without

the brown stripe across the head. According to a University of Florida website: "The black bases of setae 1a and 1b on the mesothorax are ringed with white, and this is a very useful diagnostic character of the larva." To my inexperienced eye, this cat does appear to have this marking.
