| | | Pale green moth for id:
I found this moth today in Clumber Park, although it looks slightly blue in the photo, it was a very delicate shade of green, and was in a patch of young oak woodland ,
it did not seem to be a very good flyer, so could it be a newly emerged specimen ?
i have not seen one this colour before ,so i hope someone can id it for me.
i hope i am right assuming its a moth ??
