Common Gray
Anavitrinella pampinaria
The adult is a small gray geometrid moth of woodland edges, fields, and suburban plantings. It flies mostly at night, resting by day on bark or other mottled surfaces where its gray pattern helps it blend in. Adults may visit flowers or lights, while most of the species' leaf-feeding occurs during the larval stage. A notable trait is its broad, flattened resting posture, which makes the moth look like part of the surface it clings to.
