Macaria abruptata
Ninebark Angles
Macaria abruptata, commonly known as Ninebark Angles, is a species of geometrid moth in the subfamily Ennominae. It is a member of the diverse genus Macaria, which includes numerous species of angle moths. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1862. Based on its common name and the ecology of congeners, it likely has associations with ninebark (Physocarpus) host plants, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Macaria decorata
Macaria decorata is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae, first described by George D. Hulst in 1896. It belongs to the diverse genus Macaria, which contains numerous species of inchworm moths distributed primarily across North America. The species is documented in entomological collections and has been recorded in biodiversity databases, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Macaria grossbecki
Macaria grossbecki is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae, subfamily Ennominae. The species was described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1913. It belongs to a genus of moths commonly known as angle moths or bark moths. Available records indicate it is rarely encountered, with limited observational data.
Macaria marcescaria
Macaria marcescaria is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae, subfamily Ennominae. The species was described by Achille Guenée in 1858. It is one of numerous Macaria species characterized by relatively small size and cryptic coloration patterns typical of the genus. The species has been documented through iNaturalist observations, indicating ongoing contemporary presence and study.
Macaria simplex
Macaria simplex is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae, described by Dyar in 1907. It belongs to the subfamily Ennominae, a diverse group commonly known as carpet moths or loopers. The genus Macaria contains numerous North American species, many of which are associated with coniferous and deciduous forests. Specific ecological and biological details for M. simplex remain poorly documented in available literature.
