Coordinator notes: Apantesis parthenice (Kirby, 1837) was formerly in the genus Grammia, Systematic Entomology: 41(4): 844-853. We haven't quite caught up to the updated taxonomy in these genera. Also, I'm reasonably sure of this identification given location, patterns and coloration, but the photo is blurry and other coordinators might have a different idea. JRains
