Another "Who Am I?" Peter W has asked me to put this on for further identification speculations. This is the only shot I have as the wee beastie refused to open his wings fully and flew off after the one shot.
Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it could be Common Marbled Carpet - another of its many forms.
Mainly because I can't find a better match though!
Also considered May Highflyer but I don't think it is this, the markings aren't quite right.
With the moth being rather worn and its rather unfortunate resting position it may be hard to be sure.
Douglas.
Thanks for your ideas Douglas. We do get a lot of Common Marbled Carpets at Cors Dyfi so it could be one of those just trying to confuse us! Maria.
