Toadflax Brocade

I was lucky enough to get my first adult Toadflax Brocade in the garden trap back on 8th August.  There are a few scrappy plants of Purple Toadflax growing up through the pavement in our road and on checking them today I found four mid-instar caterpillars.  It is nice to know that the moth is breeding locally so I may get to see the adult again next year.
