Red-green Carpet

    Chloroclysta siterata

    GeometridaeABH 70.095 B&F 1760

    A fairly common moth, perhaps under-recorded because it flies very late in the season (and again very early in the season after overwintering).  It is found across the county, but more frequently where the foodplant, oak, is dominant in woodland.

    Adult Verification Grade: 2
