Life Science Identifier (LSID):

urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:28fb42fd-35a3-4e2e-884d-7911725f3406

LSIDs are persistent, location-independent,resource identifiers for uniquely naming biologically significant resources including species names, concepts, occurrences, genes or proteins, or data objects that encode information about them. To put it simply, LSIDs are a way to identify and locate pieces of biological information on the web.

Description

Most adult geometrids are nocturnal and rest during the day with their cryptic-coloured wings spread out and closely appressed to the surface. Larentiinae are often diurnal, particularly in subalpine areas. The reduced number of ventral prolegs results in the larvae progressing with a looping motion, hence the name loopers. ... source: What bug is that
