@mamadore submitted: pretty moth (i think it's a leopard moth, but i'm not sure) it was seen in [removed] (please remove location)
It does indeed look like one of the leopard moths in the genus Hypercompe. I think probably Hypercompe suffusa :)
Hypercompe caudata

Giant leopard moth (Hypercompe scribiona), Stephenville TX, March 2019.Â
This is my first moth emergence since I started my new job in Texas, and very happy to say it was a successful one! The photos above show the adult male with its wings developing and fully-formed (the process took about 15 minutes).Â
When startled, the moth may emit yellow drops of liquid from the sides of its body. This is believed to be a defense against predators (who might taste the liquid and find the moth disgusting!). Males can be identified by having dark thoracic spots, feathered antennae (relative to female) and small size (again, relative to female).Â
At least two generations in Texas, with adults emerging throughout spring and into summer. Caterpillars overwinter as larva and pupate as temperatures increase.Â
Look at this pretty creature♡
