Moth ID help requested (repost)
Please help me ID this moth that I found on my porch the other night.
Three images included.

Such a cute little guy, Todd, Can't help with ID, sorry, but I like this . Moths are so often overlooked as photogenic, but I have a few pics of beautiful moths, and have sold a few photo's of them. Some are just as beautiful as butterflies.

Todd,
Lookup Southern Pink-striped Oakworm Moth. I think this is your moth or at least a sub species.
Hope this helps.

Mike
