Drepana arcuata - Arched Hooktip

Drepana arcuata - Arched Hooktip Moth

The sickle-shaped wingtips make this moth nearly unmistakable! Compare with the Patalene olyzonaria - Juniper-twig Geometer, which is somewhat similar, but has less hooked wingtips and different placement of the two dark spots that are often present.
