Not sure about range but you don't have Cottonwood, American Sycamore or London Plane?

Host trees
We do have plenty of American Sycamore around and there's a few Cottonwoods along the river that's within 1/2 mile from the house.

Tom, I think the way to make
Tom, I think the way to make the decision is to consider range and habitat. Unless you were near Sycamore or Cottonwood, I would say Heterocampa guttivitta.

With that in mind, please move it to species.
