Far from it, I have been expecting Cloaked Carpet to appear at this time of year and was not disappointed this morning, there were two of them in the small actinic trap:
Others of interest were:
Beautiful China-mark
Buff Footman - or is it Common Footman?
The orange thorax suggests the former
It's Yponomeutid time! Orchard, Apple or Spindle? I've yet to make up my mind.
Thanks Ian, I did think of that possibility but couldn't find an image of 4-sf that showed a broad orange band at the termen. Yes I think if that's right it would be a first for Maenol. I hope that someone might have a thought about the Eucosma!
Your footman looks like a male four-spotted footman, and probably new for Maenol. Well done.
