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.
