1956 Cabera exanthemata (Common Wave)

Geometridae, Ennominae Wingspan: 28-32mm.

Another common species seen throughout the UK and widespread in Cornwall. One of two similar species, which are fairly easy to identify unless faded. Against the white background, this species has a peppering of brown scales all over, and the three cross lines are also brown, and curved inwards.

Like 1955 Common White Wave, the flight season is made up of two overlapping generations May / early July, and July / September making a broad season. In Cornwall, they can often be seen in April.
