Idaea inversata, the purple wave, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1857. It is found along the east coast of Australia .[1]
Idaea inversata is externally very similar to I. costaria but lacks the two-coloured head pattern of that species. I. costaria has a creamy-white patch between the antennae, whereas I. inversata is dark reddish throughout this area.[2]
