Help with ID again please:

This moth looks really familiar but I can't identify it. Really annoying and probably dead obvious to everyone else.

Hi Alison,

Looks like a worn Beautiful China-mark Nymphula nitidulata

Beautiful China-mark is something I've never seen in the west of the County.

It has a local distribution throughout the county; I’ve yet to find it near me. I was hoping that it would be at the nursery I trap at in Poynton, as they specialise in water plants but no luck so far.

Regards,
Steve

I was lucky enough to trap one in my Great Sutton garden in 2009, and have always wondered where it came from.
