Soybean looper - Chrysodeixis includens

Soybean looper - Chrysodeixis includens
Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California, USA
August 21, 2011
Size: about 40mm
I'm basing this ID on the extremely close resemblance between this and Wagner's image(1) (p.179), plus the host plant of tomato, which also fits. I see Wagner lists it as Pseudoplusia includens whereas the name in our guide is now Chrysodeixis includens, though the rest of the guide page still refers to Pseudoplusia - presumably a name change?
