Chimoptesis pennsylvaniana. If you cage a female adult and get eggs, the larva can be reared on leaf buds of white oak...which often has lichen growth on the bark.

thanks
Last month I bought a Canon 5D Mark II camera after using the 7D (and other 1.6x crop cameras) for years. The detail and quality out of this camera are phenomenal.

I thought the moth was a bit of lichen when I first saw it.
