Unidentified moth (likely a geometer moth)

Woodlands, gardens, fields, and buildings attracted to nighttime lights. The image shows a small moth resting on fabric or another indoor surface.

Adults generally consume little or no food; some drink nectar. Caterpillars typically feed on leaves of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants.

Primarily nocturnal and commonly attracted to lights. Larvae resemble twigs and move with a looping “inchworm” gait; adults undergo complete metamorphosis.

Harmless to people and pets, with no biting or stinging risk. Larvae can occasionally damage ornamental plants, while adults and larvae serve as important prey and pollinators.
