Xanthotype attenuaria
attentive crocus soldier moth
Xanthotype attenuaria is a geometrid moth known by the common name attentive crocus soldier moth. It is one of several species in the genus Xanthotype, a group commonly referred to as crocus geometer moths. The species was described by Swett in 1918 and is distributed across North America. Like other members of its genus, it cannot be reliably identified to species from photographs alone due to the visual similarity among congeneric species.
