Pale Beauty Moth (Campaea perlata)
VA Peaks of Otter Elk Run Trail 9/3/10
Cream colored, not blue like the picture suggests.
Update 2/2/12 - Originally believed this to be the Confused Eusarca Moth.
The Pale Beauty Moth is similar to the Confused Eusarca, but unlike the Confused Eusarca, the Pale Beauty Moth has no spots.
Both the Confused Eusarca and Pale Beauty Moths are Geometrids. Geometrid means it walks like an inchworm when a caterpillar, it doesn't have anything to do with geometric wing patterns.
