Alder Moth

I think this moth, caught here last night, must be an Alder Moth but, not having seen one before, I would appreciate a confirmation or otherwise.

    Hi Richard, yes it is. Martin, Andy and I saw a few on Stoke Common last night although none quite as dark as your specimen.

    Thanks, Dave. It seemed to me to be somewhat darker than most shown in books, online etc., hence my caution. My 400th macro for the site.

    Congratulations! Spooky, though, because two years ago Alder Moth was my 400th garden macro species too!!
