Hi John,
It looks like the Nettle-tap, Anthophila fabriciana. Have a look on Uk Moths.
Cheers,
Julian |

I would agree with Nettle Tap; quite a distinctive micro! |

To save time trawling through loads of micros, go on Norfolk Moths and go to flying tonight, try the same with Hants moths. This time of year there's not so many micros around, and you usually find what you want.
Manley is a reasonable book for many of the micros. |

...is there not that perhaps less common look-alike with a later flight-time that could be a contender here? | | |
