Carpet - it's a Large Twin-spot. The bulge on the outer edge of the dark fascia
is diagnostic. I find supplementary plate A in the new edition of Skinner to be
really useful here.Thanks Charlie F
This is the first time this species has been recorded in Calderdale and as soon as I saw it on the Garage window , I had an idea what it was good to get confirmation.

I like the first image very much. Your blog is very educational.
In the interest of hopefully learning by my mistakes i will have a stab, as follows
Top Riband Wave and Plain Wave?
Middle Small Yellow Wave?
And bottom, the only one I can make fit is Large Twin Spot Carpet but as I can't find this listed on the Calderdale Moths list then assume I am wrong.
Agree with Nicks comments ,3rd ones more tricky seems to show traits of both Dark barred and Large Twin spot carpets ie notches in lower and upper side of central bar like dk barred but a large discal spot of Large Twin spot,and 15mm for forewing points to Large Twin spot ?il plumb for Dk Barred Twin spot Carpet,hope im wrong. PS Plain Waves always a good record
Well done Nick all correct
