Pistachio emerald moth (Hethemia pistasciaria), #7084

In spring, these small orangey moths are quite common in woodlands and woodland edges. When fresh they are a lovely brilliant green but turn this colour when old and faded.

Nice sheen in the yellow wings and especially pretty coupled with the green background.
