Lunar Underwing ???

Hi All,

Is this a Lunar Underwing ?
I know they vary a lot but I haven't had one like this before.
Can someone verify if it is or not ?

Not that I’ve ever seen one, but I think it’s an Antler Moth isn’t it ?

Cheers,

Thanks Paul.

I can see it as being Antler Moth now. Lunar Underwing would have been my earliest by far.

Cheers,
Harry

Yes Harry, Antler Moth (Cerapteryx graminis) - see here: http://ukmoths.org.uk/species/ceraptery ... s/adult-3/

Lunar Underwing (Omphaloscelis lunosa) can be seen here: http://ukmoths.org.uk/species/omphalosc ... a/adult-2/

Thanks Steve.
I think my brain was overtired . Antler moth was so obvious but at times you can be thrown.
Cheers Harry
