Geometridae
Geometer moths are special insects known for their beautiful wings and unique way of moving. They look like they are measuring the ground as they inch along, which is why they are called 'geometer'!
生息地: Forests
The Geometer Moths have slender bodies with broad, delicate wings, often held flat. Many species are cryptically patterned in greens, browns, or grays, making them look like bark or leaves. Some show bright colours. Their antennae can be thread-like or feathery.
