Hi Nina! I think this one might be Eudryas grata, as the edge of the forewing does not appear to be scalloped: http://bugguide.net/node/view/579395 What do you think? http://bugguide.net/node/view/3057

Looks to be Hodges number 9299 – Eudryas unio – Pearly Wood-nymph Moth – (Hübner, [1831]) See http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=9299
