I agree...
it is a "Beautiful Wood-Nymph (Eudryas grata)". You are also the first to report it in New Hampshire, be sure to move it to the guide so it will be added to the log.

Wood Nymph Moth
Thanks so much. I think it might be unusual that it is here. Our summers and winters have been much warmer the past three years. Again, thank you.

Pam :)
