Carpet beating

I've just been Hoovering ahead of visitors so it's appropriate to feature this moth from a trapful which was busy but hard to handle this morning, with drizzle and poor light for photographs. It's a striking member of the Carpet family, bigger and more boldly-patterned than most of its relatives. You can perhaps see the reason for the generic name - the rich colours and composition reminded 18th century entomologists of newly-fashionable Oriental carpets. This one is the Dark Marbled Carpet.

Indeed.
