Macaria aemulataria, the common angle moth, is a moth in the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1861.[2] It is found from Nova Scotia to Florida, west to Texas , north to Oregon and Alberta.[3]

The wingspan is 20–22 mm (0.79–0.87 in). The forewings are cream-grey with three transverse lines and a bold brown patch in the middle outer third. The hindwings have a discal spot and antemedian and postmedian lines. Adults are on wing from mid-June to mid-July in Alberta and from May to September in Ohio.

The larvae feed on Acer species.[4]
