Wow, lovely lot. Not sure about the Common Wainscot though. Could it be shoulder striped or Smoky ?? http://www.bettonyb.co.uk/wainscots.html
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment Howard, which is valid. I have checked your suggestions on britishlepidoptera.weebly.com and am not convinced. There is a similarly marked one on https://britishlepidoptera.weebly.com/291-mythimna-pallens-common-wainscot.html. If it gets knocked back when I record it I'll let you know. thanks again, Colin
