    Hello,

    Here is a geometridae moth photographied at Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada (near Vermont, USA) last August 22nd. I think it is Lambdina fiscellaria but would like to get a confirmation of it as I'm new with Moths...

    Thanks again!

    Michel

    Yes I think your photograph is of a Western Hemlock looper - Lambdina fiscellaria lugubrosa (Geometridae) Michel. :-D
