| | | Unidentified moth
Hello all - can anybody help me identifying this little chap that flew in through my landing window last night? From memory, the wingspan was about 20-25mm if it helps!   |

Looks like a Green Carpet to me - but I'm only just starting on the moths so could well be wrong.

Cheers! |

It IS a Green carpet. They are in their second generation in the south now and somewhat smaller than their earlier flights.
