Hello all,
long time lurker, but first time poster, spurred on by a visitor sitting on the radiator beside my desk! Apologies for the quality of the photos, but I only have my phone camera. Does anyone know what it is? The colours are hard to make out on the photo, but it's brown, with a darker mottle and small creamy spots.

Hi Cuchulainn,
Welcome to the forum 
It's a moth, and it looks like Amblyptilia acanthadactyla (a species of Plume Moth)

That was fast!
Thank you very much - just had a look at some pages and yes, it looks like you are right.
Much appreciated. |

Sorry to come the heavy on your first post but we only allow images uploaded to the WAB Gallery or image library to be used in forum posts. This is so that they don't disappear or turn into something different at a later date.
Glad you got your ID anyway!

Apologies for this - I did try to upload, but the tool had multiple hissy fits on me  I'll try again later and then edit the post to reflect the new link. |

No problem!
You may not be able to edit your post later but you can either add the picture in a later post or PM me and I'll add it into your original post.
