Yellow-barred Brindle (Acasis viretata)

 

Acasis is a genus of moths in the Geometridae family. These are small to medium size moths with wings that are typically patterned in shades of grey, brown, and black, often with wavy or mottled markings that provide camouflage on tree bark or rocks. The adults are nocturnal and attracted to light and preyed upon by bats and birds, while the larvae feed on a range of shrubs and trees (e.g., Rhamnus, Ligustrum, Berberis).
