Geometridae: Alsophila pometaria or Erannis tilaria? - Alsophila pometaria - Female
Fisher, Polk County, Minnesota, USA

Size: Length ~ 1 cm
This looks like a female Fall Cankerworm Moth, but with all the male Linden Loopers out right now, this just maybe a female Linden Looper (which is wingless, too). I'm hoping to learn this specimen's identity. I'll post two images of this specimen. Thank you! ;-)

Moved from Moths. I'm identifying this based on the eggs, but if the image on this page is representative of what female linden loopers look like, they're pretty different-looking anyway.
