Hi,

I think this might be a tough one but I hope someone can identify it for me.

I took a photo of this Geometer moth shown. It's taken in Southern Sweden in August of this year. It lives in dense, kind of dark forest areas.

Any help in pointing me to the right direction is appreciated.

I would allso check ennominae and noctudiae (looking at my collection of catterpillars).
How long is it ? That would possibly allso help.

Thanks, I will start looking around in those sub-families.
It's around 30mm x 1.5mm
