Another I'm not too sure about, the examples I've found online atm show white legs, with no stipes but he fits otherwise. Anyone has any ideas I'm all ears :)

Need to get this one verified but we're pretty sure of the ID. Nationally Scarce (Nb) and a bit late in the year so we'll see. Update: We have confirmed the ID, after finding more of these 'feeding' on Common Fleabane, turns out they were laying eggs not feeding, they are infact 'Dark Fleabane Neb Apodia bifractella ' Quite common but very secretive, usually only active in the evenings and don't come to light usually. So all in all a good record.

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
