The Lime-speck Pug Moth Eupithecia
centaureata (Geometridae,
Larentiinae) belongs to a large genus of
small macro-moths containing about 50 British species. Many of these are tricky
to identify, but the Lime-speck Pug is unlikely to pose any such difficulties
as its markings and shape are so distinctive. The moth is widespread and
common, and the larvae can feed on a wide variety of plants. The above photograph has been scanned from an old
transparency.
