  1. Fall cankerworm (Alsophila pometaria). If you have a moment to enlarge the image, check out the reduced 3rd proleg on the left-hand side of the loop, toward the bottom. Most lineages of the Geometridae have lost this A5 proleg completely, so this is very useful for identification. Fast-moving, arboreal caterpillars tend to have reduced numbers of prolegs. The standard in Lepidoptera is 5 pairs. #caterpillar #geometridae #inchworm #moth #lepidoptera #insects #nature #prolegs #evolution #nature

  5. Scorched carpet (Ligdia adustata). Per David Bradley of the Moth of the Moment blog, naming moths "carpets" was a way to honor their beauty. Tournon-sur-Rhône, France #moth #lepidoptera #nature #insect #france #geometridae

  18. Opisthograptis luteolata (Linnaeus, 1758)

    Snapped last Tuesday and published under #CC0 here flic.kr/p/2r1wwou

    Pretty common over the past few years, which is cool because this tiny moth is beautiful 😍

  22. One of the #moths that came to UV light in #VillaDeLeyva, #Colombia last night.

    This is Phrygionis platinata (#Lepidoptera, #Geometridae, #Ennominae). This was one of the commoner species that appeared.

    ✧ winter moth ✧

    The winter moth (Operophtera brumata) is an insect in the geometer moth family, Geometridae. It is an abundant species in Europe and the Near East and a famous study organism for evaluating insect population dynamics. It is one of very few lepidopterans of temperate regions in which adults are active in late autumn and early winter. Winter moth caterpillars emerge in e...
