magnificent moth - Glyphodes onychinalis

magnificent moth - Glyphodes onychinalis
Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California, USA
July 3, 2009
Size: 22mm wingspan
Probably my new favorite moth... this picture doesnt do it justice. Browsing through pyralids at MPG lead me to Glyphodes onychinalis , #5199.1, and after doing subsequent research I think that there is nothing else it really could be.
