   Jeremy Tatum writes:  This moth emerged yesterday, having been reared from a caterpillar feeding upon young leaves of Salal Gaultheria shallon.   Although I am not absolutely certain of its identity, it does seem to bear a good resemblance to Eupithecia annulata.  I don’t know of any other pug that has that combination of a prominent discal spot plus a conspicuous white zigzag submarginal line, plus many other small details.

Probably Eupithecia annulata  (Lep.: Geometridae)  Jeremy Tatum
