Have I got a Graden Carpet?
I accidentally disturbed this moth from the porch and the best match I can muster is Garden Carpet. Am I correct?

Well Andrew,
I think you may well have a Garden Carpet...unless the Graden Carpet is a new species for Devon and the world. :-)))). David |

Thanks guys. I went through a process of elimination using the markings but the three ovals joined together on the wing are not so prominent as in Waring & Townsend. I feel proper chuffed to have got it right.

Yes. I wondered why no one pointed it out before. Nice polite people on BF.

And, by the way, when are these queer moths going to be posted (see the intro to the butterfly and moth ID section.... for moth and butterfly queeries).

Aah, thanks for pointing that out. Can't stop showing myself up!
Plenty of odd looking moths posted on BF! (Too afraid to say queer on BF!)
