New Species - Beautiful Golden Y moth
I am gradually building up the moth species for the site. I started with the day-flying ones and now I am photographing those night-flying moths that I disturb accidentally. I clocked this as a Golden Y but it was only when I got the book out that I realised there was a Beautiful Golden Y and a Plain Golden Y. Luckily the photo gave enough info to postively ID this as Autographa pulchrina. I particularly admire the green colour on the wing. I have another couple of photos of moths to ID so hopefully there will be some more new species to add to the list.
