measuring worm
A measuring worm, also known as a looper or inchworm, is a type of caterpillar that belongs to the family Geometridae. They are named for their unique method of locomotion which resembles the process of "measuring" the earth - they move by drawing their hind end forward while holding on with the front end, then advancing their front end while holding on with their hind end. There are about 35,000 species of measuring worms identified so far, some of which can be pests in gardens or farms, while some are used as bioindicators because of their sensitivity to environmental changes. They are mostly found in North American and Eurasian regions.
