Thanks Jacob! I'll give bamona a few days then I will submit to bugguide as well.
BugGuide is very prompt with the ID of moths, too. I hope this helps! Nice moth!
Thanks for the suggestion Todd. I did wonder about that but it just doesn't look like the other ones I have seen of that species. I know many of the moths can be quite variable but I think I will submit this to butterfliesandmoths.org & see what they think.
Thanks for the tip Dominik
Geometridae. Remembers me of an Iridopsis sp., but I am not sure.
