Ailanthus Webworm Moth by rhoing

Ailanthus Webworm Moth

With a double-reflection on glass.
Easy ID, as I have seen this at least twice before and it’s the fourth-listed moth in my field guide.
Also, Seek easily got this.

Nearly all images at BugGuide show this species like this, with the wings in; a rare exception.
