Another interesting Muslin Moth
There have been quite a number of interesting posts (thanks Martin) about colours of Muslin Moths. Today's arrival in my trap in Longwick was both pale and had anomalous spotting. It made quite a sight
and made up for the lack of moths and variety with only Aethes smeathmanniana a new arrival.

Hi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI imagine that you will be correct with the long-horn at that wing length, although there's a slight possibility that it could have been a female Adela reaumurella which is very slightly larger.
