Dot-Lined White - Artace cribraria

Dot-Lined White - Artace cribraria
Burlington Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
October 7, 2007
Size: 1.5 cm approx
I think this is a Dot-lined Wave geometer, Idaea tacturata, based on an image in Eaton & Kaufman's Field Guide (2007). Other thoughts??

Also, how can I tell which is male and which is female with this fuzzy thing?

Not a Dot-lined White Wave but Dot-lined White - Artace cribraria. Nice capture. I would guess seeing the antennae would show m vs f.

Gary, thanks for fixing my ID
Gary, thanks for fixing my ID... and I like your mouse-the nose is particularly prominent whilst mine is not evident at all 8;)

I looked at the data map, and this would be the first one from NJ--the next closest photo is from MD.
