I would say you will never got some nasty Torticidae ID in such a short time, I was surprised myslf how easy it worked THAT time, knowing there would also be much harder times!
Tortricidae are equally painful ;D same meadow, same same bush, same tree all this moths that look alike: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/251... , http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/238... , http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/250... and just one solved http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/248...
That was a very easy one! Just get some nice links. But thinking of your Geometridae ... Puhhh!
;) most of the times is not that easy as this, and I can't find it out before you or without your hint! Tnx again
