The small angle shades (Euplexia lucipara) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed throughout the Palearctic.
As the common name suggests, this species is closely related to the angle shades (Phlogophora meticulosa), and is considerably smaller (wingspan 30–35mm), but does not especially resemble that species. The forewings are dark brown with a broad, pale subterminal band, wider and paler towards the costa. The hindwings are whitish at the base, graduating to brown at the margins. In the British Isles this species flies at night in June and July, with a second generation sometimes emerging in September. It is attracted to light and sugar.
Forewing rufous ochreous tinged with purplish and mixed with olive brown;median area, a triangular blotch on inner margin near base, and a narrow praesubmarginal cloud deep olive; costa to beyond middle, the terminal area, and the orbicular stigma leaden purple; lines indistinct,the outer and inner approximating on inner margin; claviform stigma olive, dark-edged; orbicular roundish,oblique, with paler ring; reniform conspicuously whitish, containing a double brown lunule; submarginal line pale, waved; veins towards termen dotted dark and pale; hindwing ochreous with dark cell mark and veins, darker in terminal half where there is visible a dark pale-edged outer and submarginal line.
This species has a wingspan of 45–52mm and the forewings are very distinctively shaped with a sharply pointed apex. The common name is derived from the characteristic markings on the forewings: the base colour is buffish, brown towards the termen, and is marked with a bold v-shaped pink and green marking. Despite this bright colouring, the angular markings provide excellent disruptive patterning camouflage. The hindwings are whitish with darker venation.
Technical description and variation
Wingspan of 45–52mm. Forewing whitish ochreous, the base and costal area extensively pinkish; a triangular space on inner margin before the inner line, the terminal area beyond submarginal line, and a costal shade beyond outer line olive greenish; central area dark green, pinkish towards costa,triangular in shape, the blunt apex resting on inner margin; the 3 stigmata more or less rosy green, the two upper with pale lateral edges; outer line double and angled outwards on vein 5; submarginal line preceded by a blackish green lunule between veins 6 and 7; fringe rufous green, blackish along the excision below vein 4; hindwing pale ochreous, with the discal spot, veins, and often the whole inner half tinged with greenish fuscous; dark outer and double submarginal lines, the latter often forming a grey band below vein 4; ab. roseobrunnea ab. nov [Warren] from the Azores, S. Jorge, has the central triangle rich redbrown tinged with fulvous, the whole wing reddish tinged, and the green shades all strongly mixed with reddish, the metathorax and dorsal tufts also being deep fulvous instead of green.

Moth - Angle Shades caterpillar is eating well.
This Angle Shades caterpillar came out of hibernation on the 20th of March in a plant-pot of Dill herb in my greenhouse here in Yorkshire. I brought it inside to feed with Dock leaves until it burrows into the soil and pupates. Once the moth emerges I will release it out into my garden, where there are plenty of Docks, and other suitable food plants for the next generation. I hope it finds a mate!

Desmond uses the mousse, an angled Kabuki brush and a light touch ...James recommends plumping for the darkest shade of tan. I’ve got some in a small bowl and he says to use an angled brush to lightly feather it through my brows.
