Interesting, every photo I've seen of this species the moths appear to be a lot more 'worn' than this one. This moth is easy to miss as to the unaided eye it looks like just one of the common crambid/pyralid species. They seem to be fresh and coming out now and not before. The record 4208769 looks very much like the one just put up by me as 4668791. I note 4208769 was observed in May also
