moth in the family Geometridae
5812 Good day. I found this moth clinging to my backdoor and have no idea what kind of moth it is. I live in Calgary Alberta. Can you help?
This is a moth in the family Geometridae. Their larvae often are called inchworms, measuring worms, loopers, etc. because of their peculiar method of locomotion see http://preview.tinyurl.com/jukyqtu for a video clip. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
