Wild. That's an animal at first glance doesn't look real because of the color/pattern.

Re: name that moth!
my favorite part is that the wings are black and white but the body is so brightly colored... you should have seen the looks i was getting when i stopped to snap a pic with my phone.

Is it a garden tiger moth? They have white & black on the wings similar to the one in you pic....which is very cool by the way!!!

Re: name that moth!
yep, thanks! your tiger moth suggestion got me thinking that the wings look like a snow leopard... so i popped that in google and i believe this is a 'great leopard moth'... or some related species of Ecpantheria.
it was large, but not huge... i would imagine there's a great deal of variation in the size, like most insects.

Re: name that moth!
geez, now i read that these guys' caterpillars are a variation of those wooly bears that are all over the place here... these are probably more common than i thought.
