Spotted Moth - Anania hortulata

Moth ID answer to Web question

I just found out that Daniel had taken on the challenge of finding the ID to this moth after seeing its photo on another Web site. He used that photo to post on bugguide.net to see if anyone recognized it. Apparently I was the first to view his posting among users of this site who recognized the moth. Here's the link to the writeup they gave us: http://jkirlin.blogspot.com

If you could edit and include details about where and when this was found then it might be a useful addition to our collection.
