Thanks everyone, this moth used to be very common, the caterpillar is called Wooly Bear, and most people remember as children seeing them in the garden. 70% decline in last 10 years here in UK, probably due to gardening practices.
This moth can also hear, well it has cells of the ear and has been in a battle with bats that has been studied a bit, it changes its hearing to combat predation by bats, and the bats change their calls to predate these moths.
