Any idea on this moth species? The wings are rolled up on the moth as you see in the pic . thxs

Hi Brian,
Research takes time, and we are running late for work. We are posting this as an unidentified moth and perhaps our readership will come to our assistance while we work a 13 plus hour day.

We haven’t had much time to research this request, and we are thankful to the two readers who submitted comments. We believe this might be one of the Geometrid Moths in the genus Pero as has been suggested by one of our readers and this example from BugGuide has the same rolled wing structure as the submitted photo.
Update: September 9, 2011
With the newest comment to arrive, we believe this might be a Juniper Twig Geometer. The photos posted to BugGuide are a very strong visual match.
