Thanks for your comment Leuba! He does have a fine head of hair, doesn't he! :-)
Luxurious !!
ID updated.
Haha, Cammie, me too! :-)
Think the ID could well be: Notodontid moth - Stauropus alternus....

I have the urge to pet it!
Could this be from the Lasiocampidae family...?
Haha, very fuzzy indeed Cindy!... When I start googling for the ID, I think I'll begin with "Fuzzy Tussock" ! :-)
That is a very fuzzy moth!
