That painted looks just like
the Scarlet-winged Lichen Moth -- Hypoprepia miniata on this site MPG. It may even be the same image.

um...
like what kind of details?

It was on a back porch under a light after dark. There were a bunch of different moths there so I took pictures of several moths that night.
