Mystery Moth-2
Minden, Haliburton, Ontario, Canada

Size: About 1 inch long
This beautifully marked moth came to my porch light. The hairy legs together with the bronze dots on the wings make this a most attractive species. Does anyone know what species it is?

Notodontidae
This is one of the Furcula moths. Many are lookalikes, but I'm leaning towards the Gray Furcula (Furcula cinerea)
