Scopula separata is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found on Saint Helena.[3] It is vulnerable according to the IUCN Redlist due to invasive plant species causing the food that are needed by the caterpillars to decrease. The invasion of non-native predators such as Hemidactylus frenatus and Scolopendra morsitans are also affecting the conservation of the insect. 51-60 percent of the population is currently protected.[1]
