Freyers Pug

Eupithecia intricata

Freyer's pug is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species can be found in Europe, east to the Urals, the Russian Far East, Kazakhstan and China. It is also found in North America. The wingspan is 20–24 mm. The length of the forewings is 12–13 mm. The ground colour is grey or brownish grey. The forewing has numerous crosslines, a short line represents the discal forewing spot. There is a clear spot on the hindwings. The second segment of the abdomen has a dark brown colour. Final stage larvae are smooth and elongated. They are grass-green, teal or yellow-green and have white laterodorsal lines and also white side stripes. They thus resemble the needles of their main food plant, the common juniper and are therefore difficult for predators to recognize. Source
