Dioryctria....

Onto my light-trap at home in Chorleywood 2 nights ago came this moth:
It's a Diorytria; but which of the 4 species is it? abietella or maybe simpliciella are my favourites, but there's absolutely no money going on them. Is it going to have be dissected or can you tell for sure?

  1. Good luck chopping it if it is a female. I find simpliciella very grey, yours looks like it has some brown in the colouration.
