I agree with forestdragon. Please update the spotting Jroofie12.

Thanks to JohanHeyns I was able to find one that looks just like your photo. Geometrids can be very difficult to identify because there are so many of them and many are very similar. Such pretty little moths though.

I am fairly confident that this is a Red-fringed Emerald Moth
Nemoria bistriaria.

Hi, this might be a Red-lined Emerald (Heterochis devocata)

It looks a bit like a leaf, but in a pretty way.

It looks like some kind of exotic moth/butterfly. Do some research and I'm sure that you will be able to find out someday! Good luck!
