A Night Time Visitor!
Another new one for me! I am quite sure this N. darwiniata rather than N. lixaria due to our location on the west coast of North America. I was surprised to see the red markings on the body. I didn’t notice them when looking at this moth in the light of our back door light. Nemoria darwiniata, Columbian Emerald, Darwin’s Emerald.

"Nemoria darwiniata", the Columbian emerald, is a species of emerald moth in the family Geometridae. It was first described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904 and it is found in North America.
