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 ...

Heliomata Cycladata
''Heliomata cycladata'', the common spring moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote and Coleman Townsend Robinson in 1866. It is found in eastern North America, with records from southern Ontario, southern Quebec, Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wisconsin to South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, northern Mississippi and Arkansas. The wingspan is about 20 mm. Adults are on wing from March to July. The larvae feed on ''Robinia pseudoacacia'' and ''Gleditsia triacanthos The honey locust (''Gleditsia triacanthos''), also known as the thorny locust or thorny honeylocust, is a deciduous tree in the family Fabaceae, native to central North America where it is mostly found in the moist soil of river valleys.

Abraxini
The Abraxini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Here, the Cassymini are considered a specialized offshoot of the Abraxini and merged therein; some authors consider them a distinct tribe however. Genera As numerous ennominae genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary. Most of the genera listed here would be placed in the Cassymini if these are considered separate.Holloway (1994) * ''Abraxas'' ** Magpie, ''Abraxas grossulariata'' ** Clouded magpie, ''Abraxas sylvata'' * '' Auzeodes'' * '' Ballantiophora'' * '' Berberodes'' * '' Cassyma'' * '' Danala'' * '' Gyostega'' * '' Heterostegane'' * '' Hydatocapnia'' * '' Leuciris'' * '' Ligdia'' ** Scorched carpet, ''Ligdia adustata'' * '' Lomaspilis'' ** Clouded border, ''Lomaspilis marginata'' * '' Ninodes'' * '' Orthocabera'' (tentatively placed here) * '' Peratophyga'' * '' Pristostegania'' * '' Protitame'' * '' Pycnostega'' * '' Stegania'' * '' Syngonorthus'' * ''Xenostega'' * ...

Ennominae
Ennominae is the largest subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae) with some 9,700 described species in 1,100 genera. They are usually a fairly small moths, though some (such as the peppered moth) grow to be considerably large. This subfamily has a global distribution. It includes some species that are notorious defoliating pests. The subfamily was first described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1845. The status of several tribes is debated.For example, the Boarmiini are sometimes massively expanded to include the Bistonini, Bupalini, Erannini, Gnophini, Melanolophini, Phaseliini and Theriini. The Nacophorini and perhaps the Campaeini might need to be merged with the Lithinini, and all three might warrant merging into the Ennomini.The group sometimes separated as Cassymini is tentatively included in the Abraxini here. The Alsophilinae, usually treated as a small subfamily in their own right, might simply be a specialized lineage of Boarmiini. Se ...

Leucobrephos Brephoides
''Leucobrephos brephoides'', the scarce infant moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1857. It is found in North America from Yukon to Labrador and south to New York and southern Alberta and British Columbia. The habitat consists of open mixed wood forests of the boreal and mountain region. The wingspan is about 29 mm. Adults are on wing from March to May with a peak in mid to late April in Alberta. Generally, the flight period begins when snow patches are still on the ground. The larvae feed on ''Populus tremuloides'', ''Betula papyrifera'' and ''Alnus'', but have also been recorded on '' Salix'' and '' Populus balsamifera''. All these species produce catkins early in spring, which may be important food sources for larvae to the appearance of leaves A leaf (plural, : leaves) is any of the principal appendages of a vascular plant plant stem, stem, usually borne laterally aboveground and specialized for ...
