I saw this guy under the awning of my house along with all the other insects who flock to the light at night.
I've tried looking online to ID it, but haven't found anything that looks right. I wish the photo was better.
NW Ohio area.

My guess would be a kind of Dichorda consequaria (Geometridae). You can see an example of one from this page:

members.cox.net...

I'm a native Ohioan so I've seen them before too, but never knew what they were.

That is definately what it is. Good call. Entomology can be fun.

Not a Luna Moth, the Luna is very large, and generally lighter in color. I have only seen one.

There is no mistaking a Luna moth.
