I think this moth, in my trap here last night, may be a Dingy White Plume (Merrifieldia baliodactylus - although I believe the scientific name may have changed). Any comments welcomed and I still have the moth if it warrants closer examination:
Yes, looks good to me too, Richard. It is fairly widespread in the southern half of Bucks. There are about 60 records for the county, nearly all post-millennium and about half have been dissected to confirm, although I don't think there's any need to keep this one.
Looks good to me Richard.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter. A new species for my garden.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the information, Dave. Not as uncommon as I had imagined and I've released it
