Hi Greg,

Maybe look at Assara terebrella?

Delplanqueia dilutella would be new for Cheshire I think whereas if it is Assara terebrella then it would be the second for Cheshire!

SteveHH will doubtless confirm things :-)

Cheers,
Steve

No worries Greg - a nice moth wherever you caught up with it :-)

Hi Greg,

Your image looks very similar to a specimen we trapped in Ireland last year. My guess is that you caught your moth on Mull.

The image is on the post I put on the forum about our Irish moths. It is now om page 5.
