Green Pug - Pasiphila rectangulata
Brighton, Northumberland, Ontario, Canada
Size: 1/2 inch +
To my eye this moth looked black and white, yet all of the photos came out with a green cast. Perhaps I missed something.

Green Pug Moth
The green tint, dark band on abdomen, and dark areas near the forewing apex make this a good match for a worn Green Pug moth, Pasiphila rectangulata, # 7625. A second opinion would be helpful though, so maybe an expert will weigh in.

Small Moth
Thanks J.D. for the ID. I would not have figured it out on my own.
