A seriously wild looking moth. Never seen anything like this! Nature is amazing <3
At UV lights. Urban wooded neighborhood in Northeast Austin.
Seems to be the first record for this species in the Austin metro area.

ozarkpoppyDescription
these along the river here were extremely numerous-often a half dozen per flower, plant after plant (on Goldenrod and Juda's Bush). photographs may be of separate individuals-on Juda's Bush. FWIW-I have observed this moth as rare on the Current, fairly common at Deep Ford (Big Sugar) and extremely abundant at Cow Skin on the lower Elk. I have yet to see one anywhere on Mike's Creek.

Went to the parents' house to set up the moth light! It had rained just a little tiny bit before hand -- I think that caused lots of bugs to come out.
Will use the moth guide to try to narrow this one down:

This was the ID provided on BG, although I admit I'm still not really sold on it. Anyone able to confirm or refute this ID?

Decided to do some roadside mothing... Really windy though, and it was a bit too public -- lots of slow and curious passerbys... Lots of work still to do on these ID's...

I can't see any dark markings on the first few antennal segements on this tree cricket, so I don't know where to put it. I see tiny dark marks on the wings, so this may be Four-spotted, but that's just a guess.
