An early Cypress Carpet
Three moths were attracted to my garden actinic light last night - a Dark Chestnut, a Spring Usher and an unexpected Cypress Carpet. I guess the milder conditions tempted it out.
Intriguing! I wonder if it is early or late? We're closer to last November, when the moth is regularly still flying, than we are to May when the next generation is supposed to start. The same question could be asked of a couple Common Marbled Carpet sightings I've heard of over the past few nights.
