Scopula junctaria, the simple wave, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1861. It is found in the...

five-wave pattern, waves 2 and 4 often take alternate forms; a simple sharp move in wave 2, for example, suggests a complex mild move in wave 4. Alternation...
