I am not sure this is Margarosticha sphenotis which has strong white stripes from the wing base to the white band across the wing.

I take it it's supposed to be Hairy "Caterpillar" @ibaird @donhe ? I see it's also known as the Baphomet Moth? Hopefully someone manages a photo with the male's "feather dusters" out for NatureMapr!

@PJH123 : was this on a white sheet? If so, could you correct the colour balance and saturation to show this ?
