This is a much better crop, thanks!
I'm not sure that we can rule out a male Langton's Forester Moth, Alypia langtoni, which also have 8 wing spots. This is the only species that has been posted from Manitoba, so far. Let's wait for an expert

Please re-crop & replace
Your images should be cropped, so that the bug fills up most of the frame.
