Es ist immer wieder sehr ulkig, die Fortbewegung einer Spanner-Raupe zu beobachten, wie hier bei der Raupe des Orangegelben Breitflügelspanners (Agriopis aurantiaria).

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

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.

Wann bekommt man schon einmal die Gelegenheit, das schöne Wort hellsmaragdgrün zu benutzen?
Der Perlglanzspanner (Campaea margaritaria) bietet diese Chance

Gestern saß dieser #Nachtfalter an einer Hausmauer in Trotha, #HalleSaale. Es ist ein Herbstspanner. Laut https://www.digital-nature.de/tierwelt/insekten/larentiinae/epirrita/herbstspanner-epirrita.html sind die drei in Deutschland vorkommenden Herbstspanner der Gattung Epirrita nur durch eine Genital-Untersuchung sicher zu unterscheiden. Die Falter fliegen von September bis November in verschiedenen Lebensräumen. Die ebenfalls schwer zu bestimmenden Raupen fressen die Blätter von diversen Laubbäumen und Sträuchern. #mothstodon #geometridae

This caterpillar is frustrating to ID because it is completely nondescript. So was delighted to see, "frustratingly nondescript," in the description of Melanophia canadaria in Wagner's caterpillar book. But he says it's indistinguishable from co-occuring M. signataria. And both are similar to Ennomos subsignaria. Ack. Help appreciated. #caterpillar #insect #moth #lepidoptera #nature #geometridae #entomology
