New moth for the garden, and some deep-brown eyebrows

Pediasia contaminella was a new addition to the garden moth list last night, first one I've seen in this part of the world. Although not the most colourful of moths it seems a bit undignified that it has been burdened with the English name "Waste Grass-veneer"! Its typical posture is to have its head down and tail in the air. Seems to have increased in Upper Thames area in recent years.



I'd never noticed this until I took some photos today, but it seems that Deep-brown Darts have fabulous eyebrows 😊
