A bit past its best but I've sort of convinced myself that this moth, in the trap last night, is a Pine Carpet, the first I have seen at this site. Would be grateful for confirmation and/or comments.
Looks like it to me too, Richard, although I've never seen one quite like that before. Even though the number of records has increased significantly over the past ten years Pine Carpet is still not a common moth in Bucks so it might be worth keeping it for Peter to check.

ReplyDeleteI'd say keep it for closer examination.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave and Martin. I'll keep it for Peter to check.
