Any ideas what this might be? It must be a micro, but can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

At least it wasn't a small brown jobbie, eh?

Hi Grampy,
A date the photo was taken and the overall size of the specimen would be of help if you can assist.
Otherwise it's a Greyish jobbus Eales 2004.
I've always wanted to name a species new to science. lol.

Assuming that pic was taken recently, this is probably Diurnea fagella. Reasonably large for a micro.

Grey jobbie

Morning chaps

The moth was caught in Dorset wooded area at light, on night of 2nd April.

PS. With ref to Scampo's frivolous remark......you just don't see white dog poo anymore......

Angus is correct with his suggestion of Diurnea fagella - a common (and variable) micro moth.
