| | | Green moth for ID please
Hi...
I found this last night... but upon closer inspection, it seemed to have a turquoisey blue tinge under the wings, which the picture doesn't pick up very well
It had a wingspan of around 2 inches wide...
Does anyone know what this is please?! I have never seen one before!
Thanks!

Thanks ever so much Jenny
Is this quite a common moth? |

Yeah, they are common and pretty widely distributed throughout Britain. Flying from late-June - August, the larval foodplants are Birches, Hazel, Alder.
Thinking about it, I haven't seen one this year yet, which is unusual - hope they appear soon. |
