Hello all,

Here is a little male moth I photographed last July 6th, 2010 in Quebec, Canada (near Vermont, USA). I think it is a Noctuidae but I'm not sure...

Can somebody help me with its identification (family, genus, species)?

Thanks again,

Michel

I think I found it:

Unicorn caterpillar (Schizura unicornis) from the Notodontidae family. Can you please confirm?

Thanks,

Michel

ID correct, a relatively common species.
