Moved
Moved from ID Request.

there is one other species, Trichodezia albofasciata, listed for North America but nothing is available online. With the specific name californiata we can feel fairly safe moving this. Moth Photographers Group will probably ask to use this photo. Nice moth indeed!
Thanks John and Jane!

appears to be same plant in the other photos. Wonder what it is?

Black and White Moth - Trichodezia californiata
This moth was hard to catch a photo of. It kept flying. Thank you.

Looks like Trichodezia californiata - Hodges#7432
We only have a couple images in the guide, so we're not certain, but check it out here. Nice find!
