It's one of the Tiger Moths, maybe the "Agreeable Tiger Moth", or maybe this one, the Virginian Tiger Moth:

Yes, I don't think it had the orange neck area...so I think this is it! It was a cutie pie! LOL Here is a picture of the cocoon...I was actually getting ready to throw it out, it was in a "bug catcher" all winter...and when I opened it up it was almost completely out..so I took it outside to the planter and set it out so it could dry it's little wings...it was pretty amazing...you can tell I get excited over little things...LOL
