Do you remember where you saw this?
Here's our research:
Wagner says there are only four Eastern Zygaenidae
Harrisina americana we know well and feeds on grape
Pyromorpha dimidiata we don't know but Wagner says the caterpillar feeds on dead leaves
Neoprocris floridana we have in the guide and it feeds on Laurel Cherry, Prunus
Acoloithus falsarius is what we think we have here and it feeds on grape.
If you found this on grape it must be Acoloithus falsarius.

We were thinking it would help to move anything
that looks like this to Zygaenidae in the hopes that once we had them there we might make sense of them, but we don't know how to make that decision. Yours certainly looks like it belongs in that family as do several of Yurika's

Looks pretty close to me
Do you think it should be moved to that family?
