Fast Fauna Facts #5 - Large Emerald (Geometra papilionaria)
Family: Geometer Moth Family (Geometridae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Unassessed
Often mistaken for a butterfly due to its colourful wings, this large green moth can be found across most of Eurasia so long as suitable host plants on which to lay eggs (mainly birches, hazels and alders) are present. Adults are active mainly at night and breed in the late summer, with the caterpillars hatching in the early autumn/fall; newly hatched caterpillars of this species are brown and blend in with the fallen leaves of deciduous trees, but after hibernating over winter and emerging again in the early spring they gradually develop green colouration that allows them to blend in with newly-grown live leaves before pupating. Young adult Large Emeralds are a vivid emerald green, but as they get older their colour slowly fades (older adults are generally pale lime in colour.)
