Sorry about the ghastly lid colour, which has probably knocked registration of any red on body. I think it is this species; the other identification details fit. The blob on the lid is 5mm diameter. We are one mile from the river Thames and no Hemlock in the immediate vicinity. A casual encounter as it came to light at the window.

Hello Isobel,
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, that's Agonopterix alstromeriana, one of the easier ones from that family to recognise. It is quite common everywhere in our area.
