The Cloaked Marvel!

Chytonix palliatricula

June 9, 2011

  Sometimes the moth's name comes from a look at the caterpillar. Having seen a photo of one, I'd say the description comes from the moth. My guess is that the cloak refers to dark apical shading - like a cloak thrown over the shoulders (I see a tux with tails).

   According to Covell, this form is called iaspis.

This is the "White Form" of the moth, photographed June 18, 2015.
