Unfortunately there are lots of Euchaetes
in Arizona. There is a list of eight species here at Moths of Arizona. Do you recognize any of the adults from the images as being around your house?

Thanks for the reference. I looked thru their images but don't recognize any.....most likely that I just haven't focused on them. BobP
