Contents 1 Abdomen 2 Subfamilies 3 Taxobox Image 4 Redirect to Geometridae

[edit] Abdomen

The word abdomen links to the abdomen of the human body - thus does not seem appropriate or clear. TeunSpaans 17:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Subfamilies

Minet and Scoble (in Kristensen) do not list Orthostixinae. Hausmann (Geometridae of Europe) does. Any opinions on deleting Orthostixinae? Satyrium 21:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taxobox Image

I have replaced the image of the "inchworm" with a documented specimen of Geometrid adult moth, which is, after all, the subject heading. Nickrz (talk) 14:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect to Geometridae

I intend to redirect this title to "Geometridae", that being the family taxon. I will rewrite the lead paragraph to incorporate the common names for the adults and caterpillars. Pending discussion, of course. Nickrz (talk) 05:04, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
