Autumn Green Carpet
Still not catching many moths but some interest at last with my first Spring record of Autumn Green Carpet and the Scarce Tissue below. Swallow Prominent was also new for the year.

Autumn Green Carpet
My second Autumn Green Carpet of the year but first for the garden.
This moth and its close relative the Red-green Carpet would make an interesting study. Both moths over-winter as the adult female and feed on a range of broad-leaved trees but whilst the Red-green first appeared in Derbyshire in the late 1980's and has become steadily commoner, expanding its range the Autumn Green has remained scarce in Derbyshire and is declining in southern Britain at least.

Autumn Green Carpet - Slagmill Plantation, East Moor
With the wind having finally subsided I ventured out again with Brian Statham and caught a very nice Autumn Green Carpet, 3 Flounced Chestnut, and a very worn Dart/Rustic which I am fairly certain is Heath Rustic. We also caught 4 Grey Pine Carpet, Common and Dark Marbled Carpets, 2 Small Wainscott, Sallow and Pink-barred Sallow, Silver Y and Northern Spinach.
