Tachystola acroxantha?

Is this Tachystola acroxantha?. Most of the images show a much browner moth with a slightly different shape.

  1. Hello Steve,

    I'm afraid that's just Carcina quercana which has had quite a strong second brood this year. Do keep an eye out for Tachystola acroxantha though because it is multi-brooded and as it happens I found one on our ivy blossom last night.

  2. Thanks Dave, I thought it didn't feel quite right.
