1818 Eupithecia irriguata (Marbled Pug)

Geometridae, Larentiinae - Wingspan: 18-22mm.

A Nationally Scarce species on the Nb-list occurring in southern counties only. As far as we know, it only occurs towards the east of Cornwall. The wing pattern of this species is quite distinct, so it is easy to recognise if you are lucky enough to come across one.

With only a few specimens recorded, it is difficult to specify a flight season, but the only occurrences I know of were in April, at a specific location.
