Its a species of Pug, the less distinctive ones such as this are notoriously hard to ID, there are alot of dark sub species and melanic forms. Someone may know it to species level. |

Looks like a worn Willow Beauty to me. You can just make out the convergent crossbands. Definitely a Geometer though.
Cheers,

Yes I would go with Willow Beauty as they like a lot of geometrs are prone to a degree of variance.

I'd go with Willow beauty too guys.
That is not a setting board I see before me is it!!!!!!!!!!! 
I certainly hope not as this is a conservation site!!! 
Sorry, but I have strong views on killing unneccessarily and all my trapped moths get to fly away the same day!

Thanks all....
...sorry to have been so tardy in my response(s) but I've been away for a few days.
To keep everyone happy (and Naturegirl in particular), Wild-woman is right, bricks and mortar it is!
It really took some doing to get the mounting pins into that mortar!!!!!
