Marilyn, yup I meant the skipper. It was a Clouded Skipper, by the way. Hadn't seen one of those in a long while. The Coreopsis tag read Coreopsis grandifola but I think it was some kind of cultivar. The tag didn't say, though. I think when I bought them the lady at the nursery said it was a new cultivar but she couldn't remember the name. But at least I know what species it came from because there are many Coreopsis.

Ann, I've got those too. I was pretty sure I knew what they were but I asked BAMONA and they are Forest Tent Caterpillar Moths. They don't actually make tents, though. Here's the info page on them: http://www.butterfliesandmoths...
