| | | Upsidedown moth ID
Found a lot of these moths but couldn't get a decent photo because it kept landing on the underside of nettles. Any ideas please?  
Thanks,
Nige |

According to UK Moths MoP is a night flying moth, there were quite a few of these and it was middle of the day, unless it was because they were disturbed?

Yeah true, they are quite flighty though so they may have been disturbed. |

Kool I shall put it down as that then. Thinking about it I did only see them fly when I brushed past the nettles
Thanks!
