Strange Moth

[Digger]

I found this little guy next to the porch light tonight. I leave the light on to try to attract feeders for the mantids. I wasn't going to give this beauty to the boys and girls. Can anyone identify this. Sorry for the poor quality - using a 100mm but very slow shutter. The long black trail down the dorsal kinda reminds me of a praying woman with her hands extended. The moth "paws" fascinated me.

I dont know what its called but I just want to say that it is beautifull and its does look like a woman praying lol. You should see if u can find more so you can breed them and sell them cause they dont look like those ugly moth you find every were :/ but nice catch .
