Gymnoscelis cf. pseudotibialis
This is a tiny Geometrid Moth that i found on the wall of my house. This moth is brownish in color, and it has wavy bands (fasciae) on both wings. Its body length is about 5 mm, and the wingspan is about 10 mm. This moth could be Gymnoscelis pseudotibialis.
- Spotted on the wall of my house. Usually, it can be found around the house (especially near the light sources).
- This is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is attracted to the light (possibly a nocturnal insect). Thanks to Psyche (Dr. Seow) for the ID. - http://www.butterflycircle.com/showthrea....
