Garden Carpet Moth - Xanthorhoe fluctuata
Settled and in unobstructed view for once, on the wild flower meadow.
Fore wing length was about 13mm, so wingspan nearly 30 mm.
Body length much smaller, perhaps 5mm.
The species varies location to location quite widely in colour and patterning, here light and dark brown. The body and abdomen have black marks.
