Angle Shades? from a different - er - angle.


Have been looking at this one and it's confusing me. Any help much appreciated.

  1. Have a look at the opposite end of the book, Steve. Those very short antennae are a give-away that this is quite a primitive species.

  2. Or if that fails, look at a recent post from Steve Trigg.

  3. Dave, Sorry for my ignorance but all I can come up with is Passenger Moth.

  4. By opposite end of the book I meant the beginning - but I won't prolong the agony for you any longer! It is a smart female Orange Swift.

  5. Thanks both, I don't think I would have got that from the illustration which really doesn't do it justice, although the patterning and shape should do of course. With thanks to Steve Trigg also.
