Lovely tiger moth. If you submit it to BugGuide.net, they could help you identify it. In the meantime, you could compare it to photos on BugGuide: http://bugguide.net/index.php?q=search&a...

I think you're in the right group but the distribution doesn't quite match up. I think it is a Virgin Tiger Moth. Very common in the states and quite pretty: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammia_v...
