Coordinator notes: This is either H. harrisii or H. tessellaris. I find the adults impossible to distinguish from each other using photographs, as they're nearly identical (not so their caterpillars). Both are found in Arkansas, took, so I can't tell from their ranges (which largely overlap nearly everywhere, not just in Arkansas). That said, this is likely H. tessellaris, since it's more common across the shared range of these two sp. But I can't be completely certain. JRains
