urban garden
I spotted this moth on the wall of my house. I've been leaving my porch light on some nights and have been attracting some moths.

Keith you got it exactly... nice one..!!
Thanks Keith I think you're right. It looks just like the ones from Ontario in your reference link. I might have been wrong on the size.
A tough one, but I kind of like Red Twin-spot (Xanthorhoe ferrugata) for this. 1.5 " seems a bit large, though.
