Thanks Keith and ForestDragon! After looking at the diagrams it does look like the Yellow-fringed Dolichomia Moth. I wonder why they are in a different Genera... So similar.
To me, the yellow markings look more triangular and the outer margin of the wings appears to be more purple, which is consistent with the Yellow-fringed Dolichomia Moth. Check out the links provided to compare. Here are two diagrams showing the differences between the Clover Hayworm and Yellow-fringed Dolichomia Moth: http://bugguide.net/node/view/776868 http://bugguide.net/node/view/776874 and the species page for the Yellow-fringed Dilichomia Moth because I gave the link to the diagram by accident with my ID suggestion: http://bugguide.net/node/view/3884 Hope this helps!
