Could anyone suggest a potential id for this micro trapped on evening of 17th July. I'm not sure whether the pale distal area is real or an artefact of wear.
Thanks

Hi Martyn,
I could talk myself into believing it's Rhopobota naevana, the Holly Tortrix. Could that work for you?
Cheers, Julian

Yes, good call Julian. I should have spotted that as I have had them before. I think I was fooled by the pale outer area to the wing but you can see the fold from the dorsal view and the rest of the markings look good for Holly Tortrix.
Thanks again.
