Just wanted to confirm this was the Schizura unicornis - Hodges #8007, I reared this from the caterpillar and this photo was taken shortly after it emerged. I am attaching a photo of the caterpillar and its pupa. Thanks for the help...

Goodness Anna, I should have looked at the caterpillar before and realized that it was so pretty because you had reared it! Definitely S. unicornis!

Hello
Anna,

What a nice series of pictures and a more colorful picture of a Shizura (if it is that) than I have seen.

I am just moving some of the older ID Requests to Moths to make more room in ID Request.

Sorry I am not qualified to identify your species. I have recently been trying to rear some caterpillars from moth eggs to ID some of the more difficult ones.

Good luck and have fun.
