...I do it with the light on.
1. Agree Speckled Yellow
2. Best guess would be Epirrhoe sp. Don't know if there's enough detail for positive id though

Waring says that dingy shell always rests with its wings closed, which is where I was coming from. But must admit that it did look quite white in life. Unfortunately if flew before I could work on the photography!

When I'm rich and famous I'll buy a better camera. (I know, a bad workman... )

Apparently yellow shell is a first for my 10Km square (at least according to Larger moths of Surrey--although, as you pointed out, the status of moth species can change rapidly), so it's not all bad news! :bounce:

What's all this about a Yellow Shell? Your no 1. pic was a Speckled Yellow. Very uncertain on no 2. so I won't make a guess.
By the way if Yellow Shell is not resident in your area I can send you a bucket full, it's abundant up here in many colour forms.

Whoops! Yellow shell is v. common here, as well--at least I've photo'd two in the last two days! Speckled yellow is not shown for my 10km square but I strongly suspect it's under-recorded as there is lots of suitable habitat round here.
