This little gal is not in my bfly book. Anyone know what this is? Sorry the pic isn't better.

On a different note, our monarch cocoon starting showing her wings through the green today. You can barely see the outline but it's there. Can't wait until she makes her appearance!!

Looks like a moth...perhaps an Eight Spotted Forester (Alypia octomaculata)?
