Moth Question

[hog]

Folks, this beautifull Moth visited us today but my limmited UK moths and butterfly book does not list it.
Anyone here seen one or can put a pos ID on it for me.
Thanks Folks

I would go with Dark Arches.

I would go with Dark Arches.

Thanks. I had to Google it because that isn't in my Collins 'Butterflies and Moths of Britain and Europe', which is surprising as it says that it's a common species!

I was tempted by the idea that it might be a Green Arches, but no, Dark Arches it is indeed. Lovely picture by the way. Another example of how attractive some of our common species are if you look closely at them.

Thanks for posting.
