Description:
This small geometrid was a bit hard to photograph as he--note the feathery antennae--kept his wings folded up while on the narrow string perch. I'd estimate his WS at only about 14-15 mm. I *think* this is a species of Synchlora which I hadn't photographed previously. I have a large set of images of S. frondaria which are consistent in showing a more jagged PM line and a double-rounded AM line in contrast to the present moth. The two species overlap broadly across the southern U.S.: aerata: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=7058 frondaria: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=7059
