Large Lace Border Moth (Scopula limboundata)

Scopula inductata or limboundata? I'm pretty sure this is S. limboundata, but I will update it if I hear any different.

Resting on Common Blue Violet (Viola sororia).

Tough one! They are so similar and it seems to have features of both. The rounded wings look more like S. Inductata, but I think I agree with your ID anyway. How big was the wingspan? Posted 7 years ago
