"Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds…"
That classic childrens song refers to the larvae of the geometer moths. The family name Geometridae comes from the Greek geo, meaning earth, and metron, meaning measure because they appeared to be measuring the Earth with their looping movement as they inched along.
These forest caterpillars serve as an important source of food for birds.
All About Geometer MothsGeometer moths may be easiest to identify in the larval stage, thanks to their unusual appearance. The caterpillars bear just two or three pairs of prolegs near their hind ends, instead of the five pairs found in most butterfly or moth larvae.
