I'm not sure if I've ever seen this kind of moth before. I looked on BugGuide to ID this one, and I'm pretty sure it's a Lucerne Moth, Nomophila nearctica. It's certainly nothing exotic, just that this particular combination of size, shape and pattern was new to me. Always nice to see something new :)
Just ran across your blog trying to identify a crysallis. I think it's great! Beautiful pictures!
