Record from my flat - "pale green moth"

I am reasonably good with my butterfly ID but moth ID is another matter entirely.

I have identified a few moths which have found their way in to my flat overnight and which were quietly resting in the morning, enabling me to take a photo, use the Seek app on my phone and search via Google.

Last night before I went to bed, there was a pale green moth flying around my bathroom which refused to settle for anything more than a few seconds. Therefore, I only had brief views and no opportunities for a photo.

I thought that a search for "pale green moth" would clinch an ID.

It didn't!

It could have been any one of these! ....
