Moth ID required

Post by David M »

At Whiteford Burrows on the north Gower coast this afternoon, I chanced upon this little beauty.

I suspected at first that it was some kind of Ermine moth, but further research made me err towards female Muslin.

Can anyone confirm?

Yup, that's a female Muslin Moth David :)

Many thanks for the confirmation, Bugboy.

I think that's the first one I've ever seen. :oops:
