Cropped...
I linked these images assuming it is the same moth based on the comment above by David Jones ("Another view").

I also cropped both of these images...

A moth, not a beetle.
This is an Ailanthus Webworm Moth (Atteva punctella). I really like this species. Their colors make me think of little harlequins. Also, if this image is of the same individual as your other photo, you may want to link the images. To do so, simply tag each image and then click "link" below the tagged images that appear to the left of the page. Nice shot, by the way!
