Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Reviewer needed abdomen shot to distinguish from Spilosoma... so I was able to relocate this moth today in same apartment building/urban setting. Does it help? Wasnt sure if i should make a new record or revise original so i did both. OK if still no ID, letting this guy go now.
