Halysidota sp.
One of the most beautiful moths in my area!
Halysidota tessellaris and H. harrisii are indistinguishable from each other as adults. I've never seen a caterpillar of H. harrisii, so this is most likely H. tessellaris. The second photo is not oversaturated, it was literally that shade of yellow-orange! One month left until National Moth Week!
