Sometimes, you just happen to miss one!

Packing away the moth box and found this little fella on the side of a shallow planter. It is a welcome to 2025 and my first sighting this year of:

TREBLE BROWN SPOT - a geometer (read: flat and butterfly-like).

Common round these parts in May-June

A small 1.5 cm wide flat moth, butterfly shaped. It is a pale cream colour with three distinctive brown spots close to the left and right wing edges. Above the spots, in each wing corner is a brown smudge and these are all separated from the central part of the wing by a wavy brown line. On the other side of that line, in the central cream section of wing, there are four tiny brown diamond dots, two on each wing. Finally, the wing edges are heavily fringed. The moth sits on a black, scratched plastic planter.
