We didn't say it wasn't Schinia gaurae
we said we don't know what kind of things could be found in Arizona

Beautiful creature
Can't wait to see the results of Wagner's studies on the southwestern caterpillars. If we had seen this here in Illinois, we would have said Schinia gaura, but we are definitely out of our element there. But we do have some posted to BugGuide with that tentative ID.
