Little Green Moth

Lutz, FL(Zone 9b)

on the office window this morning. I have researched but not been able to ID it yet so it will probably wait til we get back from the KY Roundup. Check out the fringed wings!

It looks similar to the Green Geometrid moths. It must be some sort of geometrid moth. I found a picture of this guy, but it just says "Moth": http://www.junglewalk.com/photos/Moth-pictures.asp

It looks a lot like the Pale Beauty on this web site: http://www.wep.ab.ca/bobspix/moths.htm

This picture really shows the fringe on the wings of the geometrids: http://www.insects.org/entophiles/lepidoptera/lepi_en014.html

You're probably right about it being a geometrid. I have lots of the cats...they're the ones that turn into a stick or twig when they get scared.
