Three-spotted Sallow - Eupsilia tristigmata
*This species is nearly identical to Eupsilia vinulenta except that it has a big, black spot on the inside of the reniform spot. They look so similar though that I am seeking confirmation for this ID.
Habitat: Drowned in a maple sugaring bucket. I tried to rescue it, but the poor thing was already dead and very sticky.
