Got me beat


The tiny moth, below, (about 1cm across) spent more time on its back playing dead, than its front, but eventually flew off. I'm afraid the Id has got me beat- don't even know if micro or macro!



I've had quite a few A. heracliana recently, but this one, below looks, broader in the beam, and more rounded. Is it a 'just' a Brown House Moth (Hofmannophila pseudospretella)?

  1. Hi Keith,
    Difficult to be sure about the Pug but the wing shape suggests Double-striped to me. The micro is, I'm sure, just another heracliana. They're getting a bit tatty now, having been around since last autumn.
