what is it?

[Martin Honey]

Tried for a second time to reply to Frantic at Momma.com but it gets bounced
so here's my response:

>No, it's actually quite a common species although like most moths, rarely
seen by the non-specialist. Your local branch of Butterfly Conservation
probably does moth evenings, where you will be able to see many species not
normally seen. Where abouts are you?
>
>THE book for moths in Britain is Skinner, B. 1984. Colour identification
guide to moths of the British Isles. Viking books.
>
>If you want one on insects in general I would recommend Chinery, M. 1986.
Collins guide to the insects og Britain and western Europe. Collins.
