Ematurga atomaria
Ematurga atomaria, the common heath, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The colour is variable ranging from yellow brown to dark brown. The appearance is mottled with bands and spots. The brown cross bands on both forewings and hindwings vary in width and there may be no cross bands at all only small dark brownish spots. Males have comb-like antennae. The pictured male has an almost wrinkled hindwing, but that didn't stop him from flying around, with me chasing him! Spotted near Theodoriana village, Epirus region, Greece.
