Observation notes: While clearing piles of the neighbour's Box Elder seeds from my flower bed, this moth was found laying on the ground pretending to be dead. ID based on this link: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=9933 The light/dark coloured am line and the light coloured tear drop shaped reniform spot with a satellite spot at each end of the reniform spot seem to validate the id.
