Geometrid Moth
Fully developed wings = Adult
Please remember to check this box on your master image. All of the images in order Lepodoptera are organized by Adult -- vs. -- Immature. If you don't check this box, someone else has to do it for you, on every image that you submit. I have done it for you here.
