This was a MatthewFrawley sighting but this line seems to have disappeared ?
@MatthewFrawley is the moth in the 3rd shot the same as the other 2? It looks like a different sp. to me.

It's different but at the time I thought they were all Helicoverpa punctigera and that the first two photos were one that was more brightly coloured. I can delete that third image as I realise now the error.

Create another record for it (3rd shot). As it shows the hindwings well it is ID-able
