3/4" silvery white moth.

Thanks Tamar! I do have a field guide for moths but unfortunately the photos are all of pinned specimens that seem to bear very little resemblance to live moths in their natural state!
You are welcome, Karen. At least I figured out one of them. ;) I got frustrated trying for the other two and gave up for now.
Thank you Tamar- I think you have nailed it!The blue cast is because it was a flash photo & I don't have the software to correct the balance.
Maybe a Snowy Geometer - Eugonobapta nivosaria:http://bugguide.net/node/view/11109
Thank you Tamar! I do find these tricky to ID so many similar looking species!
Beautiful photo of a Geometrid moth (and your other ones). I wish they were easier to identify quickly.
Thanks Jeannette!
Lovely :)
