Ann, pls check this out... the Philippine species is Spaniocentra apatella. http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Digital_Mot..., ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/geometroidea/geometridae/geometrinae/spaniocentra/index.html.
Thanks Karen! This little moth has a bit of personal significance for me, as the last time I saw this species was about 6 months ago: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/661... ... And that was the 1st time I took the photo - instead of my husband. :-)

Yes! But I haven't seen one of them around here for awhile...
You're welcome Ann. Emerald geometrid moths are always fascinating, don't you think? :)
Thanks so much Agnes for the ID!
Everything updated! :-)
