Geometrinae
Geometrinae is the nominate subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae). It is strongly split, containing a considerable number of tribes of which most are presently very small or monotypic. These small moths are often a light bluish green, leading to the common name of emerald moths, though a few species called thus are also found in the tribe Campaeini of the Ennominae. In 2018, a phylogeny and classification based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis was published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society in which 13 tribes were accepted.[1]

gollark: Anyway, I think if you use standard and generally-considered-good cryptographic algorithms with trusted open-source implementations you're probably okay. Unless you're being actively, personally targeted by nation-states. In which case you have bigger problems.
gollark: Like I said, they can't practically ban strong encryption, just make it so that the average people's communications don't use it.
gollark: Then, anyone who uses strong crypto can be called an evil terrorist because all Good Citizens are using backdoored stuff.
