Newly Eclosed Tiger Moth
Dear Enti Em,
This is a freshly eclosed Tiger Moth whose wings have not yet fully expanded after emerging from the pupa. We believe it might be a Salt Marsh Moth female, but we would not eliminate a species in the same genus without a common name, Estigmene albida, which is pictured on BugGuide.
