I found this exact moth in my backyard today (not my photo), but I can't find a name for it anywhere. If someone could kindly help me, I would greatly appreciate it. http://icons-pe.wunderground.com/data/wximagenew/h/hallmountainAL/143.jpg To hide these ads please register / sign in

It looks like an Io moth to me! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automeris_io Hope this helps!
