leaf style moth - Paonias excaecata

Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada
June 29, 2012
This was a moth I found this morning, friday june 29th on my screen door to the garage. It was quite big and it's body was slightly pointed upwards. Also looked like his eyes could have been at the back of his head, but maybe it just had spots there.
