Photo of CLOSED: Golden Moth Identification

I found two of these cocoons in Lemon Balm this winter. They both hatched into the same coppery golden moth. This moth is great at playing possum. One panel of scales reflects a different way giving the impression of a single whitish spot in the middle of the wing. I attempted photography of the second one and am wondering if anybody can ID it for me.
