Red Carpet
Very similar to red forms of the Dark-barred Twin-spot Carpet, although the Red Twin-spot Carpet tends to have brighter markings, with a clearer whiter band bordering the central red band and has a more banded appearance.
Rests during the day on shaded rocks, stone walls, bushes, hedges and tree trunks from which it is easily disturbed. Flies from dusk and into the night.
Various herbs, but particularly bedstraws, Ground-ivy and Wild Carrot.
Many habitats including gardens, woodland, fens, moorland and coastal sand dunes.
