Its Noctua comes, the Lesser Yellow Underwing.

Are you absolutely sure it's a lesser? Looks like a large yellow underwing to me, given the black marks on the outer edge of the forewing, the size and also the shape of it's wings.

Hi xsarahx,

You are absolutely right. I knew what it was and simply wrote the wrong name. I have no excuse.
Thanks for the correction, I'll try not to do it again!
