Thanks Iain. With 1300 species on CNM, I think moths have the greatest number of species and are the hardest to ID from their markings. Sometimes I have the patience to scroll through trying to find the correct ID but sometimes it just becomes too tedious when experts like yourself and Don can ID them almost readily. So I apologise for the times that I don't try harder. Much thanks to you and the other moth Moderators.

No worries, Alison. Endotricha can be tricky, but this one has a curved (non-straight) costa which is a bit of a give-away. Learning a moth a day keeps the doctor away!
