Somber Carpet Moth or Barberry Geometer - Rheumaptera meadii - Female
Haddonfield, Camden County, New Jersey, USA
June 1, 2011
Size: mid-large
This came to our porch light, and spent some time on the door. Some friends and I are debating the species but I can't find a good match - we're torn between Somber Carpet and Barberry Geometer. Any help out there?

Triphosa haesitata - Tissue Moth - Hodges #7285 is similar, but it lacks the small, dark discal spot.
Nice photo!

Location
Please put the city only in the city field. If you repeat the state (already in the state field) in the city field, you get NJ twice "Haddonfield, NJ, Camden County, New Jersey, USA".
