Gosh, is that really a Pale Brindled Beauty rather than just Brindled? Seems much more strongly marked than the ones I get.

 

[Paul Chapman]

Good question. I tend to look at size and structure. I'll look again.... 🤞

Ooops. I agree.

24. Brindled Beauty - Clevedon, North Somerset - 18th March

Not sure how I did that. I originally thought Brindled but It just seemed small when I potted it. Undoubtedly, you are right.

A couple of nice moths in the trap this evening when I got home. 😀

Hopefully some light for pics tomorrow.

Many thanks

Paul
