Grammia phyllira
1/2" Grammia sp. tiger moth.
Semi rural wildlife habitat.
A very accommodating little guy - he posed for me in my hand while I took flash photos of him.
You are welcome! The way I identified it was the four teeth-like markings on the bottoms of the forewings.
Thank you Jacob! I agree, it most likely is that species, especially as I found one in my kitchen recently. I wanted to double check as many look similar to me!
Nice find! Looks to me like Phyllira Tiger Moth, Grammia phyllira.
