Cream-bordered Green Pea

Earias clorana

Attenborough, Nottinghamshire, England - June 2012

Cream-bordered Green Pea is a scarce moth in Britain and is restricted to the southern half of England. It is a very distinctive species and is only likely to be confused with Green Oak Tortrix, but the whitish borded to the forewing and head and its more tent-like resting posture of the wings easily distinguish it.
