Barred Carpet
Martania taeniata
Martania taeniata, the barred carpet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by James Francis Stephens in 1831. It is found in large parts of the Palearctic realm.
Its wingspan is 19–28 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is ochreous. The forewings have a dark-coloured central band. They are very variable in size, pattern and colouring. The large white or whitish spot in the middle of the distal margin distinguishes M. taeniata from its nearest allies.
