That's a day-flying moth, Pompelon marginata. Do a search in the Internet using the scientific name. You should be able to get you to more pictures and information on the moth.

Ha ha... dun give me so much credit. Just happens that this is a common moth that's caught many observers' attention before. Other than a few common ones, I'm just as clueless when it comes to moths.
