As anticipated a much better night last night in terms of numbers of moths(30). However, my only new species for the year was this pug. I am not confident with pug identification but based on the UK moths website I have provisionally identified it as a Brindled Pug. I would appreciate confirmation before adding it to my records.

It is unlikely to be anything else at this time of year but the diagnostic "brindling" (the small black inward-pointing wedge-shaped stripes in the outer cross band) has been completely washed out in your example, Andy! I'd wait for a better-marked specimen...
ReplyDeleteThank you. I realise it was a rather worn individual.
