As a novice this is invaluable info! Thanks Guy, i'll remember that.padfield wrote:This is a geometrid moth. I'll leave it to the mothies to say which one!
When you can't find something in a butterfly book, look at the antennae to see if it might be a moth. Butterflies always have clubs. Moths vary, but never have real clubs (burnet moths have sort of clubs). They might have smoothly tapering antennae, feathers, hooks, &c., but always look different from butterfly antennae.

Well done Dave! I put it on Bird Forum as I go there often and know some really good Mothers, the first one to put up a name agreed with you....and so did 3 others!!!Dave McCormick wrote:Hmm, would it be a yellow shell? or Aplocera lythoxylata? I am not 100% sure, but I think I have seen that moth before.
