In the garden trap this weekend was this moth. It looks like Agonopterix umbellana - is this correct? If so, it would be a new addition to the garden list.
Hello Steve, It certainly looks a good match for umbellana but I'd be happier if you got it checked by Peter as this is such a rare moth in our area with only one post-millennium record. The atlas suggests that it might be a first for VC22 as well!

Thanks Dave. I have retained the moth for checking.
