bobatkins Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 <p>Found this guy munching on what I think is an Azela. Location is Maine. I don't see anything like it in my Moths and Butterflies field guides and no luck so far with websites.</p> <p>Head is red, with two black "antennae". Tufts of white in a "mohawk" like pattern along the back. Another black "antenna" appendage at the rear. Yellow and black striped body with a couple of red dots towards the rear end.</p> <p>Quite striking. About 3-4cm long.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
