I think this is a Virgin Tiger Moth, but I'm not sure. Can this be verified or corrected. Thanks.

No Response
Jim,
I've been taking care of some spring cleaning in Grammia and since you never responded, I took the liberty of cropping your image.

Cropping
Thank you, Robert. I have become a better cropper for bugguide in recent times :) Sorry for not responding and doing it myself. Thanks again.

Grammia Tiger
Jim,
The thin veins look more like G. anna to me. I'd hold out for an expert opinion, as Tigers can be tricky.
