We have seen that one before in this thread: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/517186/

It is the White-tipped Black Moth (Melanchroia chephise) in the Geometridae family,

Thank you very much Ken--guess the frostweed looks sort of like snow-on-the-mountain if none is available. Funny thing is, I just got snow-on-the-mountain seeds in for next year's garden. So maybe I will see more of them, huh?
