I found this page on British Lepidoptera, the detail on the tornus area of the hind wing is diagnostic.

Pug Sp. 26/06
This looks a little different to me both in size and shape. At first glance looks like a Common Pug, but rests with tail heavily curved up. At 24mm wingspan, it's a bit of a brute in Pug terms. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteI'd say Plain Pug
ReplyDeleteTwo for Plain Pug. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! What I expected. I also get Yarrow Pug, so I knew it wasn't that. Another new for garden macro, though I have probably disregarded a few of them as Commons before. I found this earlier- it was really helpful-
