Doesn't seem to have an 'English' name but Ian called the Banana-shaped Moth!! Despite being so-called common I haven't had one of these in the trap before

It's called the Honeysuckle Moth (look on the UKMoths site). I recognised it straight away as I saw my first one in my moth trap this morning!
