    Hello,

    Here is another moth photographied last July at the "Old Man in the Mountain", New Hampshire...

    Is it possible to identify the family/genus/species?

    Could it be a gemetridae?

    Thank you very much for your help...

    Michel

    I believe this a bicolored angle moth.(semiothisa bicolorata.) Yes, it's family is geometridae. It's larvae feed on pines. :)

    Hello Bettie and Glennann and thank you for your help and appreciation...

    This identification is a real tough one!!! This moth looks also very much like Macaria (Semiothisa)aemulataria and Macaria (Semipthisa ulsterata)..

    It will then be safer to conclude with Mararia (Semiothisa) sp...

    Cheers!
