nice sighting! Oxycanus, perhaps (?) I'll let Glenn comment on the ID - he's the moth expert. But thank-you for recording this Sue. It's a Hepialid, for sure ... a 'Ghost Moth'. Keep an eye out for any others. They seem to like this changeable weather ...

Actually, yes, this does look like the 'Bardee Grub' ... Abantiades. Great!! But we'll wait for Glenn to check. Thanks again Sue for posting this.
