That's a beautiful moth, Jeff!
It may be one of the pinions, but that's just a guess.

My guess is Xanthotype (Geometridae), but I don't know which species.

That's a beauty, Jeff. Try bugguide.com. You might be able to find a picture. Or you can post your photo there or on whatsthatbug.com for an ID.

bugguide.com? whatsthatbug.com?

Must both be sites where somebody is willing to do the research that people won't do for themselves.

I couldn't get to species level on my "guess" without digging referance books out of storage, sorry. Geometrids were far from an interest in my lep studies.

Try this Jeff... just found with a quick search on-line.

Well imagine this

That's pretty cool: you and I came to the same conclusion at the same time.

I found this nifty site, for future reference:

Thanks for the help, Larry.

No problem Jeff. I just don't know too far beyond genus level on Geometridae "off the top of my head" without digging out the books.
Folks need to realize that a little research on their own goes a long way. It's not all on-line for the approximately 180,000 species of Lepidoptera, but a lot of it is, especially for North American species. No doubt it helps to have some clue of at least what group first. But you learn that from doing the research yourself.
