Mottled Umber Moth Caterpillar / Velika grbica gusjenica

It is a moth caterpillar of the family Geometridae. The larva is also very variable from cream to dark brown. It feeds on a wide variety of trees and shrubs (see list below) and can be a serious pest in orchards. The female of this species is wingless and rather spider-like and can be found on the trunks and stems of its larval food plants. The male is fully winged (wingspan 40–45 mm) and very variable. The ground color of the forewings varies from pale cream to brown with brown to black basal area and a broad band in the same colour. The hindwings are whitish. Truly melanic forms are also frequent. The adults are active from September to December and the males are attracted to light.
