Moth in a Hampshire snowstorm
I was watching a football match last night - it was cold & snowing (not really a snowstorm but reasonably heavy) when what appeared to be a medium sized yellow or brown moth flew past. I thought it was a small leaf at first but then realised that it was alive and navigating itself around!! The floodlights may have affected the apparant colour. I thought of Winter Moth but has any one any other ideas?

Perhaps a Mottled Umber, see http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=1935

Thanks to you both. It could be either as what I saw was a 'floodlit' moth about 20 feet away in falling snow while trying to watch a football match! I think both of these suggestions are more likely than mine as either could have appeared yellowy under bright light perhaps. I'll never know. However thanks and good website too.
cheers, Keith |
