Female - Twilight Moth
These images can be moved to species for Lycia rachelae, since she is very pretty! Also, she matches the female shown on the MPG page: Here (many data points in Saskatchewan) The orange stripes show up on the males and they don't seem to show on any of the others.
Can we please get at least one example copy of every identified female, placed on the info page for the Wingless Female Geomitrids? Thanks!

ID
This might be the flightless female of the moth Lycia rachelae (Twilight moth)in the Ennominae subfamily of the Geometridae. That moth is listed as threatened or endangered in several states. Maybe someone who knows more will help.
