Spanish moth
by: Moni

Your photo is of the Spanish moth - the larva is called the convict caterpillar....see its images http://bugguide.net/node/view/26706/bgimage
They are found in the eastern half of US as well as Central and South America.
The caterpillars feed on spider lily, amaryllis and narcissus; and have also been reported on figs in the continental US. Bugguide reports that the "larvae have been reared on "iceberg" lettuce".
Really neat looking moth and caterpillar!
Thanks for submitting it!
