Hello
Brianna.

Welcome to BugGuide! I hope you will find it a wonderful place as I have.

I am a new Contributing Editor doing routine housekeeping by removing moths from ID Request to Moths to free up space for hew ID requests.

I am not familiar with your moths and I cannot make species identifications, but I have observed that Nikole has made some very good calls.

sospeta and urticaria can only be separated by dissection
.

I think...
False Crocus Geometer (Xanthotype urticarial). Wait for Expert confirmation. :D
I was going to say a Crocus Geometer, but this specimen has too many brown speckles, so I think it's a False Crocus Geometer.
