Size: small
This was a rather small moth. I found a photograph of a Timandra amaturaria in the Moth Photographers Group that looks the most like this moth. Can anyone help me with the identity? Thanks very much.

look like it
Cross-lined Wave, formerly (?) Calothysanis amaturaria, the larva is an impressive creature, sometimes called "cobra inchworm" (see pics: 1, 2).
I'm guessing it's in the same tribe as the Chickweed Geometer.

Thanks a lot, Robin. I wonde
Thanks a lot, Robin. I wonder if the genus name had been changed and that's why I was having so much trouble finding it. Great photos of the caterpillar. Thanks for taking the time.

names
It's listed as Calothysanis at nearctica.com, and the original genus is given there as Timandra. In 1999, Parsons et al included Calothysanis as a junior synonym of Scopula (see Butterflies & Moths of the World) but I could find no reference to a "Scopula amaturaria" on the web, so I guess that change hasn't caught on yet - maybe other sources don't agree with the proposed change?).
Image moved to new species page.
