I thought Silver Y's were an Aultumn Moth, yet I saw this one yesterday in Nottinghamshire - is the correct?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi, Andrew,
I've seen a couple so far this year. I think that they can survive mild winters in the UK.

I had one feeding on a vetch at Druridge Bay last Thursday *17th* - I thought it was early too!

But then again, everything is all back to front this year with the early arrival of warm weather
