Not completely confident but could be Turnip Moth. Not looked at the hind wings of one before. |

Hi Thanks for your reply. The Turnip was one I had looked at but still the size is what is stopping me from making a confident id. The timing is right where many of the others were not, the search continues......... |

It's either the Turnip Moth or the Pearly Underwing and I have seen neither so can't say either way. According to Hantmoths the Turnip Moth has "Underwings pearly white with darker veins a feature shared....only by the larger Pearly Underwing and Dark Sword Grass". The Turnip can have a wingspan of up to 42mm which would be 21mm long and the Pearly Underwing up to 56mm (28mm long). So on that basis, I would say Turnip, but it's only a suggestion...

Thanks. That does make sense, forgot to say the measurement is with wings folded, from North to South. It does look closest to the turnip moth, a new one for me, with a darker form in the Skinner moth book that I use. | | |
