I would say it’s Dichordia iridaria, Showy Emerald, Hodges 7053.  I get them 
often in east TN.

The attached moth looks like Dichorda consequaria  to me. MPG shows it in 
Arizona and Texas. This doesn’t make sense because I photographed it last night 
in northwestern North Carolina. What MIGHT make sense is that one of the 
neighbors is a long-haul trucker who usually brings the cab home. 

What do you think?

PS: I don’t know the route of the trucker.
