Angle Shades Moth
Phlogophora meticulosa
The adult is a nocturnal moth found in gardens, woodland edges, hedgerows, and rough grassland across much of Europe and nearby regions. It feeds on nectar and is strongly attracted to flowers and lights after dark. Its folded wings form a crumpled, leaf-like triangle, giving it excellent camouflage while resting by day. The sharp angled markings that give the species its name help break up its outline among dead leaves.
