Isturgia limbaria, the frosted yellow, is a moth of the family Geometridae.
This species can be found in parts of Central and Southern Europe. It is extinct in Britain. [1] [2]
These moths inhabit heathers, edge of the forests and scrubby areas. [3]
Isturgia limbaria has a wingspan of 26–30 millimetres (1.0–1.2 in). Forewings can reach a length of 13–15 millimetres (0.51–0.59 in). [3] The male has feathered antennae, while those of the females are filiform. The upperside of the wings is yellow or orange yellow with a chocolate brown margin, less evident in the females. The underside of the hindwings is pale yellowish or greyish and strongly mottled, with visible longitudinal white stripes.
These day-flying moths fly from mid April to mid August in one or two generation. The larvae feed on broom. They over-winter as a pupa. [4]

The Macariini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Though they share many traits with the Sterrhinae, this is probably plesiomorphic rather than indicative of a close relationship, and DNA sequence data points to the Boarmiini as particularly close relatives of the Macariini. All things considered, this tribe might still resemble the very first Ennominae more than any other living lineage in the subfamily.
