Can anyone help with a name for this moth. It was found in my bathroom this morning having come to light overnight? I've checked Moths of the British Isles by Skinner and British Pyralid Moths by Goater and can't come up with a name.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards. Mark

Pyralid. common name Garden Pebble, Evergestis forficalis

Thanks in advance.

looks good to me.

Thanks Chris,

I was hoping you'd be online.

Good hunting.

Kind regards. Mark

LOL. The way things are going Mark, your bathroom could soon be included as a main site for British moths!

Hi David,

Now there's a thought.

Maybe I could charge an entry fee?

Good hunting.

Thanks in advance.

i'm surprised you haven't had any square spot rustics but yes that's straw dot.

Chris

Thanks Chris,

I'll keep a look out for the Square-spot Rustic. I certainly haven't seen any yet. I've had several Noctuids but they keep flying off when I try to photograph them ... even after a night in the cooler. Maybe I'll get the glue out!

Thanks again.

Kind regards. Mark
