Autumn Green Carpet

    Chloroclysta miata

    GeometridaeABH 70.096 B&F 1761

    A moth in decline in Somerset as it is nationally.  Recorded most years in low numbers up till 2015, when records rather abruptly ceased until two examples turned up in 2021 at Timsbury.  A moth to look for in lightly wooded areas on the fringes of Exmoor and the Quantocks, which are rarely trapped in its very late flight season.
