Thanks Bullinger, The only moth I could find with similar colors on Noah and the web was the Rosy Maple Moth. I never saw this moth before or since and I have been pretty motivated to shoot at night because of the plethora of new bugs that came with the first rains of the rainy season. Actually, the June bugs have been so annoying!
