Metarranthis refractaria
Beautiful brown geometrid moth with about a one-and-a-half inch wingspan. Very antsy for a moth! :D Under the large brown stripe in the middle, it appears there is a somewhat pink line...

:) Just registered a NMW event.
Thanks Liti!
looking for moths near an outside light is all you need to do... for more information on how to attract and photograph moths check out the 'resources' and 'attracting moths' page on www.nationalmothweek.org.
you'll find info on types of lights people use, and setups with white sheets as well as recipes for sugary baits.
Awesome, Liti! I will try to register an event, but have no idea how to find, attract, or look for moths other than by lights outside.
There are a few NMW events in NY. Check out the map at www.nationalmothweek.org. Why not register an event yourself? It doesn't have to be big - even if it's just you in your back yard - we'd like too have it on the map!
Thanks so much Bayucca! I really appreciate it!
I just added my few moths to your group...
Thanks! I heard about NMW, and it sounds very interesting! I would like if there was one in upstate NY or around the Catskills! I will send you a message as soon as I get a chance!
Hi jgorneau,
great mission for moths and moth'ers!
do you know about National Moth Week? you can find info at www.nationalmothweek.org. Would be great if you interested in participating. Send me a message from the 'contact us' page on the website and we can continue the conversation.
