Hi ZaelCela. This indeed is Halysidota tessellaris. It is also called the Banded Tussock Moth. The proper way to title your spotting is "Banded Tussock Moth" in the Common Name section and Halysidota tessellaris in the scientific name section.

If you are unsure of the ID, make sure to tick the small box that says "Help Me ID" and leave the scientific name section clear.

Hope this helps!
