This nice little green moth is the Bilberry Pug (Pasiphila debiliata Hübner, 1817) of the family Geometridae.
The species is locally distributed in England, Wales and Ireland, usually occupying open woodland with an undergrowth of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus). They fly during June and July.
The larvae hide in spun leaves of bilberry during the day, coming out at night to feed more in the open. |

Delicado trabajo de mimetismo, sencillo y natural, como la propia naturaleza.
Un saludo Gergely: Josep Ignasi.

Moth looks perfectly camouflaged. Nice capture with nice sharpness.
