ditto
appears to be a chickweed geometer female--as far as I can tell there isn't a look alike to confuse us with ID.

Looks like it to me.
I didn't realize there were no Ontario images, maybe because they're so common around our place (my records span from 8 May through 22 September over the past five years).
