I'm happy for you that's it been identified, Billy but whatever it is it's an incredible shot.

Thanks to all who commented and looked. And a special thanks to DB for identifying this moth. I certainly appreciate your help and wisdom and for the link that you supplied. Again thanks to everyone. BB

Here's a few more photos I took at the same place as I photoed the moth.
