This one was observed during the day flying low to the ground in a dry mixed oak-pine forest. It's not a good shot for the guide, but I'd like to know its identity.

Texas Mocis Moth - Hodges #8745
Moved from Moths.

Mocis are not a day-flyers, but will relocate when their sleep is disturbed. Foresters (Zygaenidae) are the only Noctuids I know that are day-flyers. Others include Clearwings (Sesiidae) and Tigers (Arctiinae)
