Plants & places
Filename locality: Henderson County. The board is a resting place; no host plant is documented.
A sensible first response
Leave the adult undisturbed, reduce unnecessary night lighting, and retain the full image for specialist comparison.
When to look
Filename date: August 22. Species-specific flight period is unresolved.
Identification
IMG_0080 shows fully spread broad wings, scalloped margins, strong sinuous crosslines and small ring-like central markings. These favor a geometer; exposure and softness reduce fine detail.
Lookalikes & limits
Porcelain Gray is the filename hypothesis, not a verified identification. Tulip-tree Beauty and other patterned geometrids are comparison candidates only. This image is kept separate from IMG_0081.
In the garden
A likely inchworm-family moth. Its precise larval diet and adult feeding behavior are unknown here.
