Moth
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 8:04 am
Sorry for being slightly off-topic with this moth ID, but I've noticed that previous queries regarding moths have been answered.
Found the moth below in the kitchen on Sunday. My money is on it being an Angle Shades, but the wing shape is slightly different from pictures I've seen in books, the body seems longer, and at rest it held it's wings in such a way that my first thought was that it was a Thorn of some type.
Can anyone confirm an Angle Shades, or give the correct ID. Thanks.
