Nice colorful moth to identify

[pilonm]

Hello all,

Here is a nice colorful moth I found in my yard. Sadly I am not able to identify it (family, genus, species) by searching the net.

Pictures took at Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada (near Vermont)







Can you please help me?

Thanks,

The moth is a Noctuid: Cerma cerintha, below is a link to the species on Moth Photographers Group web site.

The moth will come to both UV/MV light and bait. At times it can be extremely common in Bait Traps.
