Your letter to the bugman:  Found on July 31, 2021. We live near a lot of woods, so often find many different species “hung over” near our porch light in the morning. We keep a list and have been able to identify most, but not this guy. Thank you!
How you want your letter signed:  Sarah

Geometrid Moth: Eulithis species

Dear Sarah,
The abdomen on this Geometrid Moth is quite distinctive and we quickly located a matching image on BugGuide which is a member of the genus
Eulithis.  According to BugGuide:  “There is no reliable way to separate adults of these species without rearing or dissection.”
