It appears to be Derrima stellata - the Pink Star moth.

Chubbles' self-ID elapsed time of 53 minutes misses the forum record of 43 minutes, set last year.

Chubbles, you should consider submitting the photo to the Moth Photographer's Group as your moth has more details than their photo. It looks like the Group now has a series of "live" moth images. They are accepting up to 4 different views per species.

Such a pretty little moth!! Great details, too.

Chubbles, I followed your links from butterfly gardening to this forum -- what a terrific place! People who like to talk about bugs. Yes!! Reptiles/amphibians, too! Thanks for the popcorn trail!
