Small moth of the Geometridae family; It is distributed in southeastern France, the Iberian Peninsula and northwest Africa; present in the warm areas of the Iberian Peninsula.
Geometric shape, with the front wings ending in a sharp edge and the rear wings with a wide and rounded shape; gray background color, this gray can be darker, lighter or with an ocher tone; Two irregular lines are drawn on the wings, one proximal and one distal on the wing dorsum, a dark dot on each wing, a subterminal dark line formed by small black strokes, unlike other Idaea, which only have a subterminal dotted line; long ocher fimbriae.
It lives in dry and sunny places, rocky slopes.
I do not know the food plants for the larvae, but this photograph corresponds to an open area of dryland crops, where trees and shrubs are scarce and grasses and other wild herbaceous plants are abundant.
They fly in one generation a year, the months of May to July
