Common
Marbled
Carpet.
(Chloroclysta truncata)
One version of the
Common Marbled Carpet moth resting on the stone wall of a raised
flower bed in my garden.
Information:
Fore-wing length: 14-19mm. This is a very variable species
which, broadly, splits into two types. This is one of them and
is identified by the large central light brown area on the
fore-wing and the two zig-zag bands both of which are bordered
by a rough white edging
They can be seen flying in May-June or August-October in any
patch of greenery ranging from gardens, parks, scrubland, woods
as well as fens, and heaths.
