Pretty Little Moth

[Tn Gizmo]

This little fellow found its way into the house tonight. Never seen one like it before so after the photos I searched the internet for an ID. I found it right away, guess they are common and widespread don't know why I never noticed one before. It is a "Dryocampa rubicunda" common name "Rosy Maple Moth" Everyone have a wonderful day.
