This one I spotted in a friend’s stairwell and I’d never seen it before. I didn’t take the photos as we went up to her flat as I knew it would seem weird. I doubt that she would have noticed the moth but to me it was a gem. I left on my own and took a few photos. In my two main books from which I do identification neither had this moth. My phone has an ap that identifies moths though I seldom use it preferring the old school way. It is a migrant that was first spotted in England in 2008 and my books were printed before then. I don’t know how common it is but climate change has seen species drifting north as they are now able to lead successful lives here. This attractive moth is beautiful in its own way and spotting it made my day.
