Possible brown & white moth? - Tolype velleda
Clayton, Georgia USA, Rabun County, Georgia, USA
October 11, 2012
I think I saw this ID'd elsewhere as something like "brown & white moth," but I'm not sure. I live in the NE GA mtns. at 2500', and this moth was on a piece of siding about 1 foot off my deck this morning.

Tolype velleda - Large Tolype Moth - Hodges #7670
Moved from ID Request.

Cropped the photo to show mainly the moth.
Tolype distincta is a western species.
Thanks
