caterpillar and resulting moth that uses milkweed as a host - Estigmene acrea
Fairborn, Clark County, Ohio, USA
July 6, 2012
Size: 1 inch body length?
here is a view of the underside, and you can kind of see the butt
the orange on the top of the legs are visible in this shot also
initially I thought this might be (Ethmia prattiella) aside from its larger size, but now that I have the photos on the computer screen they don't match
