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number 4, is from 1922 and is almost 100 years old so the information taken from it has a high possibility of being out of date.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)
