The Wavy-line Emerald moth (Synchlora aerata) is found throughout Canada, including southern Alberta. This little mint-green moth, also known as a Camouflaged Looper, has a wavy white pattern on its mint-green wings. The shape, colour and patterns on this moth’s wings are the inspiration for this textured lace cowl.
