Six-striped Rustic

 168 moths of 30 species here last night, including a flock of 27 Tachystola acroxantha, a rather tired Cypress Carpet and this tidy-looking but very late Six-striped Rustic:


Also 26 Lesser Yellow Underwings but no Large Yellow Underwings - it has been a very poor year for them here

    Sorry, it was a Cypress Pug, not Cypress Carpet

    Hi Richard,

    That is very late for Six-striped Rustic! I've just checked my own records and I've never seen one in October, the latest date being 15th September (2015 & 2019).

    Think you'll find that's a Brick.

    Thank you, Martin. Yes, I can see that now and it does make a lot more sense
