Many thanks Adam, so you reckon 2 and 6 are both marbled beauty? big difference in colouration, I didn't think 7 was a spectacle, will try a bit harder on that one.
So Marbled Greens, aren't always green then?

Hi Julian,
Colour can vary greatly in green moths. Green is a very hard pigment for them to produce and subsequently it can vary when fresh and will fade quite rapidly.
Cheers,
