It doesn't look like Large YU to me but I don't have any other suggestions. Sorry.

I fancy it is a Large Yellow Underwing Paul, markings very similar to that in my Guide book I have. Rod.pauliev69 said:Hi

Oops, false, definitely not LYU!
It is either Heart and Dart, or Turnip Moth, and I am not absolutely certain which, as they are bloody hard to deferentiate between, and I don't yet have enough experience with them both.
I enclose Heart and Dart from eggs this year, so a positive identified source. Sorry I can't be more specific, maybe someone else can help from this point.
All the best and cheers to all of you B B B

PS LYU attached now too.

Strangely enough Heart and Dart and Turnip are species never encountered while trapping
