   measuring worm zool., the larva of any geometrid moth.
      they are so called because they move by a process in which
      they first pull the rear legs forward toward their front
      legs, forming a loop which resembles the process of
      measuring with a tape measure. the motion is completed by
      subsequently moving the front legs forward to an advanced
      position. see geometrid.
