The Brussels Lace (Cleorodes lichenaria) is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species can be found in Europe.
The wingspan is 31–38 mm. The length of the forewings is 14–18 mm. The grey forewings only show a greenish tint when the moth is newly hatched - this very quickly fades into a pale brown tint (a medium shade is mostly missing). The forewings are dark dusted.The fringes are black and white patched. There are two black cross lines.The outer cross line is characteristically shaped.A strongly serrated black cross line is located on the rear wings.The hindwing margin contains a few black, crescent-shaped lines.The antennae of the males are heavily combed on both sides, those of the females are filiform.
The moths fly in one generation from June to August. [1].
The larvae feed on lichens.
Notes
