Geometrid Looper Moth

Urolitha bipunctifera

Notes:

I think "Bizarre Looper" is a term applied to Anisozyga and Eucyclodes species,the caterpilars of which decorate their backs with detritus for camouflage, so they look bizarre,eg http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au... The caterpillar of U. bipunctifera doesnt. (notes from Don Herbison-Evans, Butterfly House)

I cannot see where the name Bizarre Looper came into my head, Might have been Chew Bros I guess. ID and notes revised
