Beautiful White Moth

I live just east of St Louis and today at work I saw 2 of the most beautiful moths I have ever seen. They reminded me of angels.

They were so white!!

I found a pic of a similar one but unable to identify it.

Please help

thanks
Deb

nDebt There are so many kinds of moths and I haven't a clue. Sure is a neat little moth though what ever he is called!

I've seen tons of those around here, oddly my county is not reported as having them.
anyway ...
I think it's a Salt Marsh Moth
Here is a link ...

Thanks Dave!!!!!

How elegant! She looks rich and like she has on her finest fur!

http://www.heiconsulting.com/dls/08137.html I think it may be this one there are several that look Quite a bit alike. The one in your photo has the fuzzy front legs and not as spotted as the salt marsh moth.

That is the one gld! It looks like it has the fur collar that the ones I saw were.

So beautiful!

Looks like a white mink coat. Awsome!
