Red-bordered wave

Idaea demissaria

Description:

Small geometer moth. I originally thought it was a dark-ribboned wave but the pattern is different although it looks the same at first glance.

Habitat:

Semi rural

Thanks J! Interesting that there are no photos on the bugguide database, & no sightings in mid TN on bamona! http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/speci...

Beautiful! I still can see the four discal dots, they just look faded here. I think Idaea demissaria is a good match.
