Cyclophora punctaria / Maiden's Blush / Gestippelde Oogspanner / Gepunkteter Eichen-Gürtelpuppenspanner / la Soutenue ou la Phalène ponctuée.

Maiden's Blush Cyclophora punctaria
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Wingspan 18-25 mm.

Occurring in oak woodland, this rather attractive species is fairly common locally in the south of England, becoming scarcer further north into Scotland.

Like other Cyclophora species, it has two generations, the first flying in May and June, and the second in August.

The larvae feed on the leaves of oak (Quercus).

Hi Harm,
and again such a beautiful moth - I always wonder how funny names they can have - special in German ;-)
I like the red parts in the wings, very nice one, thanks
