with mating Halysidota

Uncertain about ID. Observed on Pycnanthemum muticum.

The moth was on a beam in our woodshed on a very hot day.

An amazing population, in full bloom, in a special spot

I discovered the cocoon April 28 and today, June 5, was fortunate enough to see the moth which emerged!

Tentative ID

The pair mating.

Raised on from a larvae found by @beeboy, emerged while I was in Burlington, and brought back to be released at the location it was first found.

Must have been chased up the tree the night before. Spent the day resting before disappearing in to the night.
