Googly Eyed Moth

I was doing some yard work when this critter landed on my work glove.

As is my custom, I pulled out my phone and took some pictures.

It wasn't until I loaded the images onto my computer that I noticed the eyes.

This is probably an Orange Holomelina, Virbia aurantiaca,  but I've been cautioned that id'ing species in the genus Virbia is difficult. 

So I'll just call this the Googly Eyed Moth, and leave it at that. Happy knowing that such a creature lives  in our yard.
