| | | Moth ID
Saw this moth, and it rested under leaves..... 
considered pug moths or wave moths, but none seem to match my picture, or match the fact that it rested under leaves.
can anyone ID it please? |

I think it's the Mother of Pearl, Pleuroptya ruralis.
These ones love making it difficult for us to photograph them! My only shot of it was also taken from down below with it clinging to the underside of a leaf! |

Yep, Mother-of-pearl it is.
