Battered guest


May I ask for advice on this rather worn visitor, which I had not noticed in the eggboxes but crept out when friends came to see the hawk moths. My guess is Common Wainscot though the V of its wings seems a bit sharp. But it may be too faded to be sure. Many thanks for help.  Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon

    Hi Martin, have a look at Pale Pinion in the books. Battered because it is rather long in the tooth now, having been around since last autumn.
