02207 Bad-wing Moth

Bob Patterson:
"This one is called the Bad-wing Moth, Dyspteris abortivaria. The term bad-wing is in regard to the difficulty of properly spreading the hindwing when preparing pinned specimens. While it is one of the Geometrid moths, it is not really one of the Emeralds."

Thank-you Bob!
