Dark Marbled Carpet
Dysstroma citrata
This small nocturnal moth occurs in woodland, hedgerows, gardens, and other vegetated habitats. Adults fly after dusk and visit flowers for nectar, while their patterned wings help them disappear against bark and dark vegetation when resting. The dark marbled markings give the species its common name and provide effective daytime camouflage.
