Hi Maury, Since this moth was found in Harris Co., TX and I live not too far from there, can you or someone help me know how to determine between (adult) H. harrisii and H. tessellaris? Also, on the caterpillars, if they are found on sycamore does that automatically make them H. harrisii? Thanks! Wanda

Hard to tell ...
from these photos, but looks like Halysidota tessellaris
