Abdomen
[edit]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)
Subfamilies
[edit]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)
Taxobox Image
[edit]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)
Redirect to Geometridae
[edit]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)

Photo of an inchworm
[edit]Someone want to add one? Its kinda silly that these creatures are named after their "inchworm" larva and yet there's no photo of one. Famartin (talk) 11:23, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Soc314: Wikipedia Critique an Article Assignment
[edit]1) In the section titled "Caterpillars" there are a lot of facts in the paragraph, but none of them have citations so maybe adding citations could allow for a clearer distribution of information.
2) There aren't a lot of references in this article total and a few more could probably be added. The last reference, number 4, is from 1922 and is almost 100 years old so the information taken from it has a high possibility of being out of date. Maybe a more recent study would work better for this citation.

Geographical range
[edit]The article doesn't describe the range of this moth and gives the impression that it is restricted to North America or the Americas as a whole. It would be helpful if it were more explicit about this. --Ef80 (talk) 10:10, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
