Weird Bug

I found this moth on the porch of my shop, (which seems to attract a lot of weird bugs for some unknown reason!)
I have no idea what kind he is, and I didn't find it online. Maybe one of you can tell me!
It's about an inch long with those very weird hairy legs. When I touched it, it flew away, and it's wings were a gorgeous reddish-brown when open.



I worked a little bit in the shop today. Not on orders, unfortunately, but on some things I've put off for a long time!
I found these awesome little intarsia globe beads on Etsy, and since my boys always tell me that I live in my own little world, I had to have them so I could make my little world real! :)

Tammy, if I found as many weird bugs in my yard as you find in yours, I would move! ;-) Love all the new stuff, especially the earrings!

I think it's some kind of moth, but you probably already knew that huh?? That's a pretty necklace..the pendant is really cool.

Wow!! Great moth!! I have a cat that eats every single moth that comes in the house. Love the necklace, cute way to use a little globe! Nice to see someone producing something, cuz it sure ain't me! :)
