Ermine who ? Ermine what ?

Post by sonomoha »

hej all (-:
Hope all is well.
I am posting here to make an ID request of an ermine moth (?) that I photographed a while back in England.
iNaturalist says yponomeuta cagnagella but I would very much appreciate your feedback too.
Thank you very much. Cheers!

I can't name many of them but it relaxes me to take photos of butterflies and moths :lol: :lol:

Great Allan !
Superb. Congratulations and thank you for the help.
It looks like there is a confusion with the many ermine moth possibilities :shock:
