  1. Cathy Powers  This is a Plume Moth in the Pterophoroidea superfamily. I don't know these moths well and cannot offer a Genus nor species at this time.

  3. Andrew Brown  Thanks for the clue Cathy. When I searched NS there is a Geranium Plume Moth and that is the plant it was on when disturbed.
