Hi Daniel,
Both the Leopard Moth and your species, the Painted Arachnis, Arachnis picta, are in the Tiger Moth Family Arctiidae, so it is an understandable mistake. The underwings are a lovely salmon pink with gray spots. Adults fly in southern California from late September to October, so your specimen is right on time. They are attracted to lights.
