Wouldn't Notodonta be out of range? Posted 3 years ago

  Yes, other than an outlier observation, looks like you're right. Posted 3 years ago

    One would assume the shape of this moth with its hindwings popping out would make it easy to ID! I checked Lasiocampidae, Notodontidae, Megalopygidae, and Limacodidae, but couldn't confidently find a match. Posted 3 years ago

      Thank you for that very wide and deep search. It's a tricky one for sure. Posted 3 years ago

        The search was fun, but I wish it had produced a result. Posted 3 years ago
