I can see the resemblance with A. replete, bit it is a Hepialid.

Yes, they certainly do seem to appear after rain! The next few days might see some more ... ?

Thank you for the suggestion - my guess was a wild stab!!
Is there enough certainty to confirm it?

Given that Glenn suggested the ID, I imagine that there is enough certainty for confirmation. Glenn: if you disagree, please feel free to 'unconfirm'
