The Sharp-angled Peacock (Macaria alternata) is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found throughout Europe.
The wingspan is 22–27 mm. The moth closely resembles the Peacock Moth Macaria notata but is recognisable by the wider band and the grey base colour. The moth flies from May to June [1].
The larva feed on sallow, alder, blackthorn and sea-buckthorn.
Notes
- ^ The flight season refers to the British Isles. This may vary in other parts of the range.
