Hello all,

I really have no idea for this moth found in Quebec,Canada; near Vermont USA at the beginning of July.

Can you help to identify Family, Genus and Species?

Thanks,

It could be Protoboarmia porcelaria, a Geometrid. It looks more brown in your photo than the typical gray coloration of this moth, but I suspect that is lighting. Not certain, but that's my guess. Let me know what you think.

It is the Porcelain Gray (P. porcelaria). I think also you are right with the lighting condition as that picture was taken early in the morning. Thanks alot! Michel
