Regarding the moth identity, I forwarded the e-mail posting to John
Rawlins, an entomologist at the Carnegie Museum and based upon the
description he offered the following opinion....
Charlie:
One of 2-3 species of Haploa (Arctiidae: Callimorphinae).... probably
Haploa lecontei. The crucifix shows when the wings are in the resting
posture.....
Hope this helps.
regards,
Charlie

Can't find it it my moth and flutterby book. I would be almost sure that such a moth would have to be called "The Crucifix Moth". But what do I know.
