Oh, just a question of patience and time ;-)...
another epic I.D. bayucca. you don't cease to amaze me!
Arctiidae, Arctiinae, not Megalopygidae. Notarctia proxima, Mexican Tiger Moth.
The natural world always have surprises in store for us... this one is a beauty..
It was sleeping this morning and I disturbed it...eventually it flew away...probably not a happy camper...
