Hi Zachary, as Goody has suggested you need to combine your spottings of this awesome moth. To do that you will need to go into edit on one spotting & add a second photo - you can add up to 6 photos (of the same species) to each spotting. You can then delete the duplicate spotting, again in edit.
Now that this has been identified for you, you also should complete the common & scientific name boxes so that we can take this off of the Unknowns list. Thanks!

This would be a Giant Leopard Moth, known as "Hypercompe scribonia." Great find! :)

You seem to have 3 spottings of the same animal. It would be best to either combine them all into the same spotting or choose your best photo and go with that one. Thanks! This is a great spotting.
