False Crocus Geometer Moth [Xanthotype urticaria]
I glimpsed this attractive yellow moth flying in the early evening with sunlight shining through it wings. I followed it over the grass until it finally settled in one stationary spot on my lawn; then hoping it would stay in that location I ran to get my camera and it was still there when I got back. One of the foods this False Crocus Geometer Moth feeds on is Ground Ivy and we have a plentiful supply of that small wildflower in our yard.
