Individual about 2cm long, photographed on the plant Lomatium phoeniculaceum (gone to seed) in shortgrass prairie. The winds were at least 20mph which is not unusual in this area but high enough that insects might have a hard time flying, so this plant may have been convenient rather than a specially chosen spot.

Description
Well this gaudy Tortricid turns out to be pretty interesting. It is a member of a diverse set of moths which have converged in a mimicry complex with the overall pattern of orange wings with bold black-and-white marginal banding. Other members of this complex are in this genus, related genera, and even in other moth families. Franziska Bauer created an array of images of some members of this mimicry complex (images from BOLD) and uploaded it to Flickr:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/franziskabauer/25772488391
Some of these, particularly the Tortricids, can be confusingly similar, with minor variations on this color scheme, wing shape, venation, etc.
This species was originally described from Guatemala by Walsingham in Biologia Centrali-Americana, Heterocera, Vol. 4, p. 214, 270, Tab. 8, fig. 8 (1909-1915). I finally tracked down a relatively recent revision of this genus by Obraztsov (Proc. US Nat. Mus. 119, No. 3543, 1966). His key allows me to fairly readily key this out to Idolatteria simulatrix, but even at the time of his revision, the species was only known from the original holotype from Guatemala. I subsequently found another example from nearby in El Salvador on iNat which appears to match this species:

Here's a link to the Obraztsov paper:

The overall dark coloration, simple crosslines on the FW, pink base of the HW, and dusky bands on the HW point to this species. The genus is very diverse in the Neotropics.

We had just gotten through a brief violet thunderstorm when our neighbors called us and said there was a fox on their back deck. The bedraggled, wet animal had curled up on their patio furniture not 15 ft from the back door. The fox stayed long enough for us to come over and take some pics. It seemed quite unconcerned about our presence right inside the big glass doors.

Found in southwest AR. Thought it was a neat observation since its range is usually from Florida along the coast line to Texas.
