Triangular Symmetry. Geometrid Moth, Geometridae sp., Mangsit Rocks, Mangsit, Lombok, Indonesia
Tanjung Mangsit - Mangsit Point or Bluff - is supported by huge rocks and boulders. You can climb either down to those rocks or up to the Tanjung from there (as I've often described, dear Flickrites, in my photos). Great place...
Today has been rather glum and just not raining; So a good time to look for Moths. Here's a Geometrid Moth - I think, but someone may identify it more precisely, I hope. It might be thought the name 'Geometrid' refers to its markings, but that's wrong. Geometrid come from Greek words that mean something like measuring the earh. That name is used because its caterpillars 'inch' forward, as if it were taking measure of the way to go.
