ID Confirmtion Needed
I think this is a Waved Carpet but as it is down as scarce in my ID books thought I had better check in case I have got it wrong.
I would claim it as Waved Carpet if I had been lucky enough to see it, Sally. Have you seen this on Ceredigion blog? The distribution map shows that they're not too far away. Good moth, well done.
It's good to have a new site for this species, which is relatively frequent in Carms as well as in Cered but seldom appears in numbers. It was once a BAP priority, but widespread recording showed it hadn't declined as was feared.
