The Geometridae family, commonly known as geometrid moths, is a large group of moths characterized by their slender bodies and broad wings. They are found worldwide, with over 23,000 species identified. These moths are known for their unique wing patterns and colors, which help them blend into their surroundings as a form of camouflage. Geometrid moths are named for their distinctive method of movement, often described as "measuring" as they move in a looping fashion. The larvae, known as inchworms, are named for their ability to "inch" along by arching their bodies. This family plays a significant role in ecosystems as pollinators and as a food source for various predators.
