I've still not got around to purchasing the Moth's of Glamorgan, so I'm not sure what the status of the Double Line moth currently is. I found this whilst going through old photos from last year. It seems to be the only interesting moth I'd taken a photo of.
Caught in Llandaff garden Trap 1st August 2014.
It looks as if it's a Footman, it's a yellow head, pale grey and wingspan around 25-28mm. I cant see any yellow on outer wing edges and doesnt look a very worn specimen. My apologies if its glaringly obvious.
Double Line is reasonably widespread and pretty frequent across much of the county. Your footman-type is a Lesser Wax Moth
ReplyDeleteI think I better get The Moths of Glamorgan, sooner than as a Christmas present. Thanks for setting me straight. I can clearly see it is a Lesser Wax moth now. Many thanks
