Comment: In a meadow, attached to a blackberry brier. I found this discussion on iNaturalist about the fungus, apparently Akanthomyces aculeatus, which has likely killed this moth, https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/647792. I highlight the following comment "According to Mains (1950), this species is the only one in the genus that occurs on Lepidoptera (or anything remotely resembling Lepidoptera)." [http://www.jstor.org/stable/3755572]"
