Orthonama

Orthonama is a genus of the geometer moth family (Geometridae). It belongs to the tribe Xanthorhoini of the "carpet" subfamily (Larentiinae). Nycterosea is usually included here by modern authors, but may in fact be distinct enough to warrant recognition as an independent genus.[1] The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825.

gollark: Yes, it's a bit irritating but not hugely technically complex.
gollark: You can also just directly remove the tape with lasers, but yes.
gollark: Orbital lasers are highly effective at removing red tape, actually. Also most other tape.
gollark: Obviously I don't set the orbital mind control lasers to target *me*, as that would be redundant.
gollark: It's not. I told you 30 minutes ago, then erased your memory of it through orbital mind control lasers.
