A better photo than my last query! Is this a Merveille du Jour moth? Found in my garden on the side of a polystyrene seed tray - and hasn't moved for a couple of hours. Thanks.

No, it is the Orache Moth (Trachea atriplicis]). A rare immigrant to UK. Where did you find it?

Thanks for your reply. I'm in Central Brittany, France. So perhaps it's not unusual here? I'm off to look it up!

Drat! I was hoping for a very excited County recorder
