Limacodidae, Euclea sp., it is either Euclea delphiini or Euclea nanina, with a tendency to Euclea delphiini due to the more northern location. But actually these two species are tricky to separate, definitely from this perspective and without any size indicated. http://bugguide.net/node/view/169342 http://bugguide.net/node/view/424 http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=4697.1 http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=4697
