Scopula limboundata
Large white moth, about 2.5 cm in wingspan, hind wings visible (Characteristic of Geometer Moths). Gray waves on bottom of wings indicate Scopula limboundata. One gray dot in the middle of each wing. Same species as my other spotting
Larva feed on apple, blueberry, clover, dandelion, meadow-beauty, and black cherry.
"Outer margins of wings angular; wing ground color pale whitish or yellowish, speckled with brownish-yellow dots and crossed by 3 or 4 wavy brownish-yellow lines; small black discal spot near middle of all wings; area between second and third wavy line usually less speckled than remainder of wing; subterminal area of hindwing (and anal angle portion of forewing) often with dark gray blotches or patches." --BugGuide Same species as: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/122...
