A Good Night On the Coast:

Sandy Carpet (Perizoma flavofasciata)

Hi All,

Good night here with 24+ species, new for me here were Sandy Carpet (above) and Green Carpet, which zoomed off before I could snap it ! One I couldn't identify is the other picture below and, nearest I can get is an early Dun Bar, I did consider Marbled Minor, but it's too big.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Your unidentified moth is a Common Lutestring (Ochropacha duplaris). I'm finding a lot more on the wing this year than previous.

Regards,
Greg

Thanks Greg, that's another newbie for me !!
Don't tend to get too many moths from the front of the book here !

Cheers,
Rob
