Ken,
Another Yes! from the amateur moth-er. There are two forms of this species,
one
with variable markings and one that is mostly white, again making my point
about
variability. You got the lucky white one!

Thanks, Doug!
Speaking of extremely variable, can anyone confirm that this is a 8109 Reversed
Haploa, Haploa reversa?

Ken,
Definitely looks like 8146– Giant Leopard Moth (Hypercompe scribonia) to me.
I'm beginning to think that all moth species are extremely variable. I seldom
find one that looks exactly right, just close enough to eliminate everything
else. BTW, nice pic.

Is this a Giant Leopard Moth, Hypercompe scribonia? I looked a what seems like
a
million shots of this species online and either its pattern is extremely
variable or more that one species is being labeled as a Giant Leopard.
