Hi, thanks for the reply. My daughter found several of them eating weeds behind her house in Southern Mississippi. I think they are gorgeous! My little grand daughter is very excited!!! Before she is allowed to hold one, we want to make sure they are no danger. Thanks to all for any help on identification. I have added another pic.

They are pretty and have a funny name! It's a Hieroglyphic Moth cat:
