Horisme intestinata, the brown bark carpet moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is widespread throughout most of temperate North America. The habitat consists of wooded areas.[1]
The wingspan is 21–32 mm.[2] The pale tan forewings are marked with fine parallel lines. The PM and ST lines are deeply scalloped. The wide costal streak is almost unmarked.[3] Adults are on wing from late May to late July and again from early September to early October.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on garden Clematis.[4]
