I live in northern Ontario. I found this guy hiding under a delphinium leaf. I've looked at tons of pics but nothing looks quite right.

It's pale green, covered in black speckles, and has larger orange dots down the sides.

Thx!

I saw that and appreciate it. A location can often help. Sadly this time it did not help me find an ID.

You could try posting your picture on BugGuide website.

So sorry, I just looked in the upper right corner and skipped over most text, which happens when I should be asleep. *Blush*

I couldn't find an ID either, and in looking I've discovered some new really odd-looking ones!

Welcome! Fishbulb80
I wonder if the colors vary. Here's a close possibility and maybe a place to start

all in the same family . just not narrowed down to each separate species or variation I think. https://bugguide.net/node/view...

Colorful bunch, moreso than their moth forms, pictured here

Perhaps Fishbulb80 can watch for any of these in the garden.
