The Elm Spanworm Moth (Ennomos subsignaria) is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is found from Texas to Alberta and east to the Atlantic coast.[2] It is recorded infrequently in Great Britain through accidental importation in asparagus.[3]
The wingspan is 35–40 mm. Adults are pure white except for yellow branches on the antennae. They are on wing from late May to August.[4] one generation per year.
The larvae feed on elm, apple, birch, maple, and oak.
