Which carpet?

The moth shown below settled on a window near my actinic light trap on 21 August. Please would someone help me with ID? Thanks.

  1. Well, you are in the correct area, John! It is a slightly worn Yellow Shell. In my garden they can often be found near the trap, especially early in the night, but rarely actually enter it.

  2. Thanks Dave! That explains why I couldn't find it amongst the carpets in my books!
