A Wave of some sort?

I'm not sure what to think of this moth, wingspan 22mm, in my garden trap last night. Suggestions please.

  1. Yes, a Riband Wave, Richard. I had a banded one in the garden trap last night too.

  2. Thanks. I thought it must be, in spite of the unusually small size

  3. It seems to have been a feature of the last few years that second or third broods produce some stunted individuals, presumably thanks to our ever warmer and drier summers. I've had some undersized specimens of a number of different species recently.
