Got this one yesterday at Llanerchaeron on the meadow. It's not ideal that the rear top of the wing is missing but you can just see a portion of the lighter panel in the wing displayed in E. cana and E. obumbratana. I was leaning towards E. cana. LERC's AI had it down as E. obumbratana but it also has similarity to E. fulvana but I think this would make it a county first. Anyone with a firm thought (just for fun - I am not trying to claim a county first here ☺️).
Any idea what sort of plant (thistle?) it's sitting on?
ReplyDeleteIt was on common knapweed but flying about in the grasses too. I just happened to get the shot on the knapweed.
ReplyDeleteSo add hohenwartiana to the list of possibilities?
ReplyDeleteI guess so. My text shows hohenwartiana to be more green in hue but looking at online live examples, many are more orange in colour and the markings are similar to the one above. Could be. Thanks.
