User's notes

I assume the white spot is some type of damage rather than a normal pattern

Yes, intriguing,

I thought so too when I saw an identical moth today but, given that there is another one like that, it seems to be a pattern. I will be posting mine eventually. I was going to post all my photos sequentially but I'm only up to the 21st of October. Maybe I'm going to have to break by own rule.

Great detective work. @kasiaaus so helpful that you found a second specimen and got a photo of both wings. @ibaird Canuza euspilella certainly looks like a good match and found locally
