Seen in one of the artist studios we visited, obviously not the best setting but I haven't seen this moth before.
I think this is a Grey Dagger moth. Although information online states that the species is impossible to tell apart from the Dark Dagger, given that the Dark Dagger flies in June and July, and the Grey Dagger June to August, the Grey is more likely. Both species are common.
I first saw this about 2"-long Dagger moth caterpillar (Acronicta americana) this morning on the garage floor, near the door. I gently brushed it onto the driveway and took this photo. I stepped away for just a moment, and when I returned to take more photos, it had vanished.
According to BugGuide, it is the largest dagger moth in the East. The caterpillar. whose hairs can cause skin irritation, feeds on leaves of alder, ash, birch, elm, hickory, maple, oak, poplar, walnut, willow and other deciduous trees.

Interrupted Dagger Caterpillar (Noctuidae -- Acronictinae --Acronicta interrupta) on Prunus. Sugarloaf Mountain Park, Frederick County, Maryland.
They are mainly predatory flies and generally small to medium sized, non-metallic and rather bristly. The 'dagger' refers to their sharp, piercing mouthparts. It's on a Red campion (Silene dioica) flower. One handheld shot.. :-)

Between the Mexican and U.S. lines at the battle of Palo Alto stood this line of Spanish daggers. When in bloom like this, they deserve their scientific name, yucca gloriosa.
Keris is an asymmetrical dagger in Malay Archipelago culture, which is famous for its distinctive wavy blade (although many have straight blades as well). Its distinctive blade-patterning achieved through alternating laminations of iron and nickelous iron (pamor).
FOR almost three-quarters of a century, highly trained groups of Soldiers have been inserted behind enemy lines to disrupt the movement of enemy troops and supplies to the front lines. These brave Soldiers have frequently used parachutes as a means to infiltrate without being detected.
Although most of the airborne forces of the world still use round parachutes, some specialized military free-fall units use ram-air airfoils, which provide control of speed and direction, as their primary means of infiltration.
Descending from the skies at 12,500 feet, traveling nearly 120 miles per hour, free-fall parachuting is the closest humans have ever come to actually flying. For the Black Daggers, the official U.S. Army Special Operations Command Parachute Demonstration Team, that's a typical Monday morning.
During their two-mile drop, the Black Daggers maneuver their body using their hands, arms, legs and shoulders to control their flight. At a few thousand feet, they deploy their parachutes and land with pin-point precision, whether it's in a football stadium or on their training grounds near Fort Bragg, N.C.
Their mission is to perform live aerial demonstrations in support of Army special operations community relations and recruiting. Composed of volunteers from throughout Army special operations, the Black Daggers have diverse backgrounds and are skilled in various military specialties including Special Forces, Rangers, civil affairs, psychological operations, and signal and support. With an average age of 33 and an average number of free-fall jumps at 560, the team represents the professionalism and dedication of Army special operations forces.
Man, that's a purple-prose name for this picture. With a name like that, I'm now forced to write a fantasy novel, even though I don't think I could write actually write a fantasy novel unless I copied someone else's word-for-word.
...
So, in other words, expect my new fantasy novel, Dagger in Amber to hit shelves in the Winter of 2010! Excuse all similarities to George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. (It was the one closest to my treacherous plagarist's hand, and I'm notoriously lazy.)
Oh -- another leaf, drop, autumn shot. Enjoy.

This is either a Grey Dagger or a Dark Dagger (Acronicta sp.), but since I didn't get to examine the genitalia we'll never know!!!!!! Whatever, it's a very distinctive beauty!

Awesome creatures these Dagger caterpillars. i think this is a Dark Dagger rather than Grey by virtue of the fact it has orange blotches on the thoracic segments but then again the protruberance looks a bit on the big side so maybe a Grey but to be honest what do i know .
So Grey/Dark it is
Just messing around with the Khordald Dagger from Eldritch. I found out that the weapon poses for the dagger worked surprisingly well with a running pose I had in my inventory. I'll have to do more experiments with their weapon AOs :3! You can find the weapon here. marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Eldritch-Khordald-Dagger/719...
