Shades Phlogophora meticulosa (Linnaeus, 1758)  |
| Status
.....A very common and widespread moth across the whole
of Nottinghamshire. The moth is found in all habitat types and occurs
frequently in gardens, but the bright green larva is often as regularly
seen as the adult, although many don't realise its identity. Larvae can
often be seen on roads at night during the early months of the year, but
they also turn up on garden plants in Spring, including Geranium as in
the photographs below. |
