Good day to you on this very hot day. Just opened my back door and this beautiful moth is on the step. Has anyone any ideas what type it is ?

It is a Jersey Tiger moth going by its wing patterns.

"Euplagia quadripunctaria, the Jersey tiger, is a day-flying moth of the family Erebidae".

It likes Eupatorium cannabinum [Joe Pye weed] its a good plant for many pollen and nectar feeders.
