geometrid moth
A geometrid moth is a type of moth belonging to the Geometridae family, characterized by a specific feature in which their larvae, or inchworms, appear to “measure the earth” as they move in a looping fashion. They are named after this characteristic behavior (from the Greek words 'ge' meaning earth and 'metron' meaning measure). This family consists of about 23,000 species, making it the second largest family in Lepidoptera. Adults are generally nocturnal and can be brightly colored or dull, depending upon the species.
