Moth to identify please

Post by sandraandkevin »

Please would someone be able to ID the attached moth, I have been through the books of Chris Manley and Paul Waring but I can't seem to place it.

Thanks

It's one of the almost infinitely variable Common Marbled Carpet. Fig.35 on plate 8 of Skinner is similar to yours.

Thanks Misha,

I think you are spot on. This is a first for the garden.
