Poor Judge of Pasta.
Either Red or Dark-barred Twin-spot, in St Davids last weekend. I get the impression from eg UK Moths website, that the separation of this pair is not as straightforward as first appears so I though I'd double check here before jumping to conclusions. I'm leaning towards Red, based on the whiteness of the lines adjacent to the dark red band, but would be interested in the opinions of more experienced moth-ers. Both shots are of the same individual.

I agree with Red-barred, among other things, there is no indentation in the red band at the leading edge corner and the shape of the trailing edge of the red band is a better fit with the fairly obvious 'w' in the middle.
