About Amblychia angeronaria Guenée, 1857
Amblychia angeronaria is a moth species in the family Geometridae, first formally described by Achille Guenée in 1857. It can be found across Sri Lanka, northern India, Korea, Japan, the Andaman Islands, Taiwan, Borneo, Sumatra, and Australia. This species has an approximate wingspan of 90 mm. Males have bipectinate antennae, while females have filiform antennae. Males have pale brown wings, often marked with scattered ochreous mottling, and a distinct fovea. The body and legs of both sexes are covered in yellowish-white hairs. Females have orange-brown wings with some degree of mottling. The medial fasciae of the wings are narrow and clearly defined. The margin of the hindwing is more strongly and broadly excavated. The underside of the wings is pale brown. The caterpillar of Amblychia angeronaria is ochreous with a cinnamon grey-brown suffusion, and feeds on plants in the family Lauraceae.
