Dang nab it Moth - Scoliopteryx libatrix
Slyvania, lucas County, Ohio, USA
August 31, 2014
It had several bright reddish orange 'tufts'/ protrudences on its dorsal side.
I didn't get the dorsal view. It flew as I stepped onto the porch.
I'd photographed it through two panes of glass for this ventral shot.

Dang. Didn't get the shot.

Any chance of an ID for curiosity's sake . . . then frass away :)

Scoliopteryx libatrix?
More by the shape than anything else. They do have some red on the top.

Jason! Thank you !
I didn't think there was much hope for an ID. I was so disappointed that I missed the shot. Thank you so much,
