Lance, I had a fair number of Lithacides fasciola last year and yours doesn't look like any of those. As a matter of fact, I cant get this to match up with any slug moths pictured on MPG. I did a little stretching of your pic to try and get a better idea of what it might look like from the side. Maybe this will help someone recognize what it is.

It appears to be the yellow-shouldered slug moth, Lithacides fasciola, Hodges # 4665. There is some wear on the thorax! I would greatly appreciate your determination or confirmation of this rather attractive little slug. Thank tou. Sincerely, Lance
