Faith,

It's a moth that is really common around here, but I've never tried to ID it. Maybe someone will know what it is.

Sandy

I think it is a two-spotted looper, Autogrpha bimaculata. At least in that genus. I have several of them. Their wings move really fast, like a hummer or a sphinx moth and they are diurnal moths. I think they're fun to watch.

Susan

Oftentimes it is equally important for the photographer to be still also, and there is enough info in your pictures to ID this moth as the Celery Looper, Anagrapha falcifera.

The two-spot looper's silvery forewing emblems are distinctly separated into two spots.

Thanks, Larry, I knew it was some kind of looper.

Susan

Thank you so much, Larry. I just knew it wasn't one I had seen before. Now I can go look it up and learn a little more about it.
