Coordinator notes: Sorry, I changed my mind about this. I don't think this is Ctenucha virginica - there's no blue sheen on the abdomen, and the overall shape is more narrow than virginica. I'm pretty sure this is actually C. fulvicollis instead. See Bob Patterson's photo in MPG: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=8267 JRains
