Can someone ID this very colorful moth? Found at 8,000 feet during the day. Don't know if I scared it up or if it was a day-flier?

Moved
Moved from Sociable Pyrausta Moth.

Bob Patterson agrees this is most likely Pyrausta antisocialis - Hodges #5076
Still a new species for Bug Guide and this will be the only photo on Moth Photographers Group! Only a few pinned photos exist on BOLD.
Thanks

Pyrausta socialis - Hodges #5075

I agree with Charles
Nice addition to Bug Guide!

Update: Pyrausta antisocialis - Hodges #5076
researching further this could be Pyrausta antisocialis - Hodges #5076. I will do more checking.

Looks most like Pyrausta socialis 5075
at MPG but I have no idea of its range.
In the Huachuca Mountains I have most commonly collected Pyrausta arizonicalis 5066 but it does not look like it.

Wish I'd gotten a sharper image, but one shot and it was gone.
