Rustic , Vine's Rustic or neither

Post by wirralbirder »

Rustic May 31st 2016 Garden _4527ed .jpg
Hi All
Looking through my garden moth photos of May 31st 2016 came across this image of what at the time I took to be Rustic. Vine's Rustic has occurred several times in my garden since the first in 2017,I now think that this may be of that species . This would predate by a considerable amount my earliest record.
Any help in securing its true identity would be most appreciated.
Cheers Harry

Yes Harry, Vine's Rustic. I'll amend the record on the database.
Seeing as how you have caught more Vine's Rustic's in Cheshire than the rest of us put together, you should now be the go to man for this species. :)
Regards
Steve

Pale edges to leading and trailing edges to wings can just be seen Harry :-)
