Good call on the genus Livan!

It looks just like mine, to my untrained eyes, I think it is, the patterns are close.

Seems very similar to http://bugguide.net/node/view/133593
Perhaps same genus. I haven't found one with the exact pattern yours has.

I'm pretty sure that is a moth not a bug.

What is it...!? a day Moth a bug of some sort?
