Unknown moth...no pix

Ashdown, AR(Zone 8a)

I had an armload yesterday,taking it out to storage when I saw a moth on my mums. It was gone by the time I got back so no picture. About the size of a skipper,black wings w/ white spots on upper tips and red ab. It held it's wings straight out....picture yourself standing w/arms held out straight from shoulders.I know it was a moth by it's antenna. Anyone have a clue? It sure was pretty.
