Moth Id confirmation - Muslin Moth (1 Viewer)

Overread

Hunting birds with a canon
Just wondering if I can get a confirmation if this is a Muslin Moth (Diaphora mendica)

Didn't get much in the trap last night, cloud was good but I think the wind was just the wrong side of strong and chilly to keep the moths in.

Thanks Aeshna! Who knows perhaps I'll get some nice pugs in my trap sometime to add to the pug confusion ;)
 
Yes. a lot easier than those wretched pugs!

Much of the time, I don't even pot them, I know what our recorder will say so there's no point.

If I do see something potentially noteworthy, e.g Plain Pug here, I'll actually take it to the recorder for dissection if required as it's a species of conservation interest in Notts.

Sorry, off topic.
