The Small
Blood-vein Moth Scopula imitaria (Geometridae, Sterrhinae) is a common, widespread, and familiar moth that is
often attracted to light. There is some variation in the ground colour and the
intensity of the markings, and all four wings are angled. The larvae imitate small
twigs, so they are probably easily overlooked. They are reported to feed on Privet Ligustrum ovalifolium and other herbaceous plants.
