Hi, you people do a fantastic job! Have been looking at your moth postings and did not see this guy whom I believe to be a Hera buckmoth. Photo was taken in sage and grassland north of Lance Creek, WY.

Hi, sorry, I see you do have a photo of the Hera Buckmoth. I was thinking it is a Tiger moth not a Silkworm moth.

Hi Dwaine,
We spent so much time answering your caterpillar queries that we did not realize you sent another letter. We identified one of your caterpillars as a Buckmoth, probably the Hera Buckmoth, and you sent strong evidence that we were correct with these adult moth images. Thanks for your valuable contribution and we are blushing at your compliments. We are going to repost your caterpillar image with the adult.
