Little dragon moth? - Euclea delphinii
Deerwalk, Wood County, West Virginia, USA
June 22, 2015
Size: Fingernail
This little guy was on my porch door. He laid motionless while I opened and closed the door, took pictures, and held my finger up for a scale reference. He's slightly longer than my index fingernail, but not much longer. Can anyone name him?

Please crop.
Only you and the editors can zoom in. The rest of the picture is unnecessary blank space. That being said...
