Same white moth I saw a few weeks ago, just snuggled up. Wondering if this specimen might look more like a Vestal Moth (A. vestalis)

Can't be-
This does not look like a Spilosoma at all. The wings are parallel-sided, the folding position and antennae look wrong and the thorax isn't fuzzy.

This looks much closer to something like the Antaeotricha it was placed in before (what happened, was this placed in vestalis accidentally?)

edit-

AH, the confusion happened because the species name is the same. This moth is A. vestalis, not S. vestalis!

Moved
Still curious about distribution at opposite corners of the country.

Moved from Antaeotricha.
