Unknown White and Bark-like Moth - Euerythra phasma
Blue Eye, Stone County, Missouri, USA
June 4, 2008
Size: 1/2 in x 1 in (apox.)
It was about 11:00 PM when I took this. The moth was next to a bight light we have on our porch. I searched through a few families of moths and came up empty handed with a match. Thanks

Looks like it to me.
Peterson's Eastern Moths has too many black-and-white plates, but your full color ID is a spectacular moth! Also says it is uncommon, so your find is even more special.

Yes!
I agree, that looks exactly like it, thanks a lot.
