Your moth is a tiger moth, but without more views and seeing it I am not sure which one. There are several species of tiger moths that are white with black spots and colored front legs in the Genus Spilosoma. The reddish legs make me think it might be the pink-legged tiger moth except it does not have black spots on the wings. :-( See the photos here - http://bugguide.net/node/view/324/bgpage
There are also white moths in the same subtribe but different Genus Hyphantria called the fall webworm moth - http://bugguide.net/node/view/453/bgimage

Perhaps from some of the photos you might be able to figure out more precisely what it is. Let us know if you do.
Thanks
