First moth of 2015 - Dotted Border

The first moth of the year turned up sitting on the window a couple of days ago and I managed a quick photo which has allowed an ID. It turns out to be a Dotted Border (Agriopis marginaria)identifiable by its dotted border unsurprisingly. Interestingly I know the moth was male because the female is flightless and hangs around on tree trunks. This is a new species for the site although a common moth.
