Thank you Bob.
I'm moving it to guide.

Tussock
This looks like a male of one of the tussock moths... I couldn't tell you species though... I have specimens in my collection I'm still unsure of. haha

 
Thanks Ray.
Could be a gypsy moth, depending on how variable they are. Let's wait and see if someone else can get a fix on it.
