the antennae
It sure does look like it! I wonder about the usual feathered antennae seen in this species.
is this just too soft an image to show them or are they not always displayed??

it's female
Males have feathered antennae to pick up the scent of females... this one is a female. And it is, in fact, a chickweed geometer.
