This Concealer Moth flew onto a stalk in front of me on Red Hill.

The apparent black tick on the outer end of the dark streak inside the costa seemed to suggest that this one wasn't Philobota sp nr Arabella, but I think the "tick" is something that isn't part of the moth.

Hi Glenn, Thanks for the comment. I don't have a clearer picture of that part of the costa but I think you are right in saying the "tick" is not part of the moth. Many thanks
