Red Carpet
Xanthorhoe decoloraria
Xanthorhoe decoloraria, the red carpet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper in 1806 and it is found in northern Europe, to the east across the Palearctic to Siberia and the north of North America; further south it seems to occur chiefly, if not exclusively, in the mountains.
