WAVED UMBER MOTH Menophra abruptaria

 

·         Although there is some variation in colour, the combination of the dark banding and scalloping of the wing margins of the Waved Umber Moth Menophra abruptaria (Geometridae) will enable this species to be separated from other British moths. These markings break up the outline beautifully when the moth is at rest on tree bark or on other wooden surfaces. The above example was photographed in London.
