Pygarctia abdominalis - Hodges #8255
Moved from Tiger and Lichen Moths.

I decided to look at your other posts after visiting your Doryodes bistrialis and found this lost one! When photos are moved from ID request extremely fast they are often overlooked. Best to move to moth level or id request, as you did, to get more attention. Sorry about the delay! Keep those NC moths coming!
Thanks
