Erebidae, Erebinae, Ophiusini, definitely a Zale sp.. In my eyes it is either Zale minerea or Zale lunata. Looking at the markings and colors I would tend to Zale minerea. Please, verify! http://bugguide.net/node/view/109342/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/109351/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/32763/bgimage?from=24 Zale lunata: http://bugguide.net/node/view/354146/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/4197/bgimage?from=216
