MOTH Ectropis bistortata
·
The Engrailed
Moth Ectropis bistortata belongs to the large family Geometridae (Ennominae). This moth is one of several cryptically marked
geometrid moths with similar and sometimes quite variable markings (including
dark morphs), and, at the time of writing the classification of this species
has yet to be clarified as further genetic studies are required to determine if
moths previously considered to be Small
Engrailed E. crepuscularia by
morphological examination are a distinctly different species – or not.
