It's a moth in the genus Alypia. Take alook at these, see which one you think it is:

I think it looks like the A. wittfeldii

I agree with claypa that it is an Alypia species, but I lean towards it being Alypia octomaculata, the Eight-spotted Forester.

How about adding your images to our BugFiles entry here: http://davesgarden.com/bf/go/4647/
