Brindled green

I had this beautifully marked Brindled green Dryobotodes eremita in my trap this morning (along with at least 20 wasps!). I catch these every autumn, but have never had one quite as beautiful and obviously green as this one.
It is a reasonably common moth that flies in one generation in August and September in gardens and parkland where it's food plant Oak is found.
