If anyone know the name of this moth, please let me know.
I have lots of keys to sort out wild flowers but I don't know any good ways to sort out butterflies and moths. I just look for photos that seem to match and then read descriptions. It is a very slow and ineffective way to look.

What a beautiful moth! It looks like it might be a Green Leuconycta - Leuconycta diphteroides.

Oh! I found one just like that earlier this year.

Thank you Mary for what seems to be the correct I.D. I too find it very difficult to identify moths and butterflies.
