Thera cupressata, the cypress carpet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in southern and western Europe, including Great Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece and Spain.[1]
The wingspan is 28–32 mm. Adults are on wing from May to June and again from August to September in two generations per year.[2]
In southern England the larvae feed on Cupressus macrocarpa and Cupressocyparis leylandii. In France they eat Cupressus sempervirens, Cupressus macrocarpa and Juniperus sabina.
