Thanks for the education. I stopped scrolling down too soon, but I am not sure I would have caught it even then because of the lead pictures on MPG. Congratulations on the ID.

I may be way off base, but I think this might be a Lichen Moth, Possibly Genus Lophocampa but I could not find a species. At least they are seen in your area.
