COMMON CARPET MOTH Epirrhoe alternata alternata

 

·         Some degree of caution will be required when trying to separate Common Carpet Moths Epirrhoe alternata alternata from several similar cryptically marked relatives in the family Geometridae. The shape of the most prominent markings, particularly the dark bands, needs to be studied carefully and compared with good quality reference material.
