What is this please?
Could anyone help to identify this moth? perhaps Colinj who is so knowledgeable on the subject has the answer?
Thanks in advance. |

It is one of many that would be well concealed among tree barks.

Thanks to you both. Now when I look up Angle shades in my Butterflies and Moths book, I CAN find it's picture but couldn't before?

Yes I can concur. The larva enjoys Geraniums & can be found all year. My earliest Larva was found on Sea Radish on January 12th 2000. I took it home & reared it out as the adult.
