Anachloris Subochraria
''Anachloris subochraria'' (also known as Australian yellow or Willowherb yellow) is a species of moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in New Zealand and the southern half of Australia including Tasmania and from Queensland across to Western Australia. This moth is day flying and can be found in New Zealand on the wing between November and April. ''A. subochraria'' was first described by Edward Doubleday in 1843. The wingspan is about 30 mm. The larvae feed on ''Hibbertia'' species. In New Zealand the larvae have been observed feeding on the naturalised weed, ragwort (''Jacobaea vulgaris ''Jacobaea vulgaris'', syn.

''Anachloris uncinata'', the hook-winged carpet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was first described by Achille Guenée in 1863 and is found in the southern half of Australia. The wingspan is 30 mm. The larvae feed on '' Hibbertia obtusifolia'' and ''Hibbertia stricta ''Hibbertia stricta'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to New South Wales.

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establishe ...

Geometridae
The geometer moths are moths belonging to the family Geometridae of the insect order Lepidoptera, the moths and butterflies. Their scientific name derives from the Ancient Greek ''geo'' γεω (derivative form of or "the earth"), and ''metron'' "measure" in reference to the way their larvae, or inchworms, appear to measure the earth as they move along in a looping fashion. A very large family, it has around 23,000 species of moths described, and over 1400 species from six subfamilies indigenous to North America alone. A well-known member is the peppered moth, ''Biston betularia'', which has been subject of numerous studies in population genetics. Several other geometer moths are notorious pests. Adults Many geometrids have slender abdomens and broad wings which are usually held flat with the hindwings visible. As such, they appear rather butterfly-like, but in most respects they are typical moths; the majority fly at night, they possess a frenulum to link the wings, and th ...
