You've been very busy Matt! top stuff your epiblema looks morelike Pammene giganteana to me. have a look here http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=5229
ReplyDeleteHi Ben,
ReplyDeleteI submitted this to the recorder a couple of days ago.
In the pot it looked extremely dark and the images in UK moths and others show light forms. The recorder has found evidence of E. costipunctana in darker forms hence why he said it was a probable. If I manage to catch another I'll be sure to get a few more pics as that one is s**t.
You can rule out P. giganteana because of the lack of heavily feathered upper legs- something not too clear in the photo! So probable is all it can be.......
