Not sure if this is will be a moth or butterfly. It was very placid when sighted, not moving or feeding.

The photos of Acyphas semiochrea larvae that I have seen did not have knobs on the ends of the head hair pencils like this specimen has, but this could just be a different instar, or it could be a different species.
