Anticlea vasiliata, the variable carpet moth or early carpet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1857.[1] It is known from the northern part of the United States and southern Canada , from Newfoundland and Labrador to Maryland, west to California , north to British Columbia.
The wingspan is about 30 mm. It can be distinguished by the combination of a short dark streak at the apex and a protruding double loop mid-way along the postmedial line on the forewings. There usually is a white spot halfway along the subterminal line. Adults are on wing from April to June.[2]
The larvae feed on Rubus idaeus and Rosa carolina.
