Possibly Harnessed Tiger Moth. Check out this bugguide page, http://bugguide.net/node/view/59803/bgimage. I can't say for certain though since I don't see black spots on the side of the moth's collar.

Beautiful moth! I updated my ID suggestion as the pattern is slightly different. It seems there is quite a few patterns that aren't filed into the species level yet.
