Nemoria species - Nemoria
07/04/08, Port Alberni, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Originally identified this as N. darwiniata,then realised that the discal spots are black rather than orange, plus it is a slightly deeper green than other individuals of N. darwiniata which I've seen here. However doesn't seem to match with either of the other Nemoria spp reported from B.C. - not N. unitaria as it has both AM & PM lines & N. glaucomarginaria reportedly has no discal spots.
