I did a little more searching, and I now think DrMotoPhoto mislabeled the photo. Your moth is probably a female muslin moth, not a poodle moth.

Thank you, but after a little more searching, I think it's a male Spilosoma:

When I first read "a female muslin moth" I read "a female muslim moth" and thought - you wouldn't be able to identify her because of her burka! :)
