Grey Mountain Carpet
This is a weakly marked light to dark grey moth, with many faint cross-lines on the forewings and a slightly darker central cross-band. A small dark central spot is always present. It can resemble the Grey Mountain Carpet, but this species is darker with bolder markings and is bigger in size. Easily disturbed by day from rocks and tree trunks. Flies at night.
Bedstraws.
Prefers moorland with exposed rocks but can also be found on sand dunes and open woodland.
