TL0024: 29/05/11 - Obscure Wainscot

Obscure Wainscot was caught here in 2010, so it was nice to get one in the Heath trap. It's uncanny how the moth settled next to an illustration of itself !

There's quite a bit of Spindle (Euonymus europaeus) around and every year the larvae of Spindle Ermine can be seen descending on threads from their silken webs.
