I thought last night when I saw it in the trap something was off about this presumed White Ermine. I've had plain ones before but this seems bigger and sits differently. I assume with the spots on the hind wing mean it's not Water Ermine. I've never seen a female Muslin moth before, maybe that's it?

I would have thought female Muslin Moth, Mark. Although I wouldn't have expected it to be bigger than a White Ermine.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem bigger. I didn't realise they were so similar looking.
