Big Tesuqui Creek Collection. Found this moth in an aspen grove. In my research this is as close as I could get to an ID. I am open to any help on the id of this insect.

Can't help with the identification, but it is a great capture.

It looks similar to the Zebra Conchylodes Moth but, from the pictures on the site I looked at (http://bugguide.net/node/view/4004), don't show any thick black lines like your picture shows. Also the maps don't show New Mexico as one of the states it's found in. Also, it doesn't show an orange and black tail. Wish I could have found a picture like yours.

It maybe a moth that eats the aspen leaves. I poured through several books before bring it to the group so any help would be great.

Good shot, hdfilmnoir! Can't help with the ID.
