|
Hello,
Here is another moth photographied last July at the "Old Man in the Mountain", New Hampshire...
Is it possible to identify the family/genus/species?
Could it be a gemetridae?
Thank you very much for your help...
Michel

I believe this a bicolored angle moth.(semiothisa bicolorata.) Yes, it's family is geometridae. It's larvae feed on pines.

Hello Bettie and Glennann and thank you for your help and appreciation...
This identification is a real tough one!!! This moth looks also very much like Macaria (Semiothisa)aemulataria and Macaria (Semipthisa ulsterata)..
It will then be safer to conclude with Mararia (Semiothisa) sp...
Cheers!
