A Moth in March

Whilst cooking dinner, Jo noticed a moth doing it's best to scramble up our window...I potted it and this is the result........

 

 

 

Lesser Yellow Underwing

 

Thanks to all on the Widerscope facebook page for your comments, also to Glen, as you mentioned a moth id book really would be a welcome wedding present! This moth really shouldn't be on the wing at this time of year so perhaps it fell out of my wallet or something!! Either way a stunning moth and kinda feel guilty for releasing it into the cold..maybe it will make a hearty meal for a migrating Wheatear!
