Can I feed this off??

First wild moth I've seen. I'm not sure what species it is so I'm a bit nervous. Can anyone let me know if this is safe to feed? I've been dying to try out a moth. Please let me know before he gets away lol.

The wing shape looks familiar but the design throws me a bit. But the colors etc, do not read poisonous to me and most moths are safe. Keep him in a small container over night, feed him some sugar water solution (make per the hummingbird instruction online). This will make sure he hasn't gotten into pesticides and is good. The pesticides would kill him within a few hours likely.

Thanks so much. Sorry I tagged you but I'm not sure who else would know.
