The August Thorn Moth Ennomos
quercinaria (Geometridae,
Ennominae) is one of several rather similar,
and therefore tricky to identify ‘Thorn’ species, (so hopefully the
identification is correct!). The moths in this family tend to rest with their
wings only partially opened, so obtaining upperside
photographs can be tricky. As the female shown above had settled on a window,
at least it was possible to photograph her underside through the glass. The
larvae feed on the leaves of Oak Quercus spp., and other deciduous trees.
