Poss Lt Brown Apple Moth, there are loads this year everywhere :)

In Common Fleabane. Recently we thought we had a moth that was very rare in East Sussex, but it turned out that once we saw this activity we were able to ID it to this local speces.

In Common Fleabane. Local species, very secretive, only seen in afternoon to evening, and doesn't come to light. Probably under recoreded as we saw at least 4 this day.

So this is the guy I was over at Combe Haven in the evening to find. Hence all the shots of 'things' on fleabane...lol Its not a rare moth per say but it is 'secretive', they are not especially attracted to light, and they fly in the early to late evening laying eggs on Common Fleabane. I had found them at my friends Meadow and again at Pebsham Marshes so just for my own sake wanted to know if we could find them at Combe Haven. I did eventually find two, this one decided to hide under the flower, maybe thats where they spend the days...lol
