Overview

Chloroclysta miata, the autumn green carpet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. It is found from most of Europe to the Alatau in Central Asia.

The Autumn Green Carpet moth is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized woodland environments. Climate change and forestry practices that alter the composition and structure of deciduous and mixed forests pose significant threats to this species' survival.
