Blomer's Rivulet

Venusia blomeri

Classification

Class
Insecta

Blomer's rivulet (Venusia blomeri) is a species of the family Geometridae of moths, in the subfamily Larentiinae which includes the carpet moth and pugs. Like most geometers the moth rests with its wings open and this reveals its main distinguishing feature — a rusty-brown patch covering the apex of the upper surface of the forewing, which contrasts with the pale grey colour of the rest of the wings. When seen up close there are faint blackish cross lines too.
