Geometrician Moth (Caterpillar)

Open fields, gardens, and shrublands where host plants are present

Herbivorous; feeds on foliage of plants including various herbs and shrubs

The caterpillar is a 'looper' that moves with a distinctive arching motion; it uses camouflage to blend into plant stems and leaves.

Benefits the ecosystem as a food source for birds and predatory insects; can be a minor agricultural or garden pest if populations are high.
