After poking around on bug guide a little bit I found this

So I'm a little more convinced it's a geometrid moth.

No Hema Shah I don't. Most of what I spot is pure chance. I don't know that it's a geometer. It's similar in size and shape to an inch worm, so I'm wondering if they're related. I spotted something that I think is the same species as this one.

Sorry I can't help. Thanks for the kind words.
