| | | Lemon Coloured Moth ID Please
I have found another moth I have never seen before. It is lemon coloured with orange markings on the outside edges of the wings.
Has anyone any ideas before I try to upload the photo? It is medium sized. |

Heres a link you may be interested in, put the moths name in search....(just realised it does not cover your area).
They are a common species, so i would expect them to be common in your area. The Butterflies and Moths of Northern Ireland

Yes, the Brimstone Moth is common and widespread all over Ireland and the UK.
The MothsIreland website shows the distribution of moths in southern Ireland, but they are very under recorded here: Mapping Ireland's Moths | | |
