Maiden's Blush in Burry Port

 Whilst emptying my trap this morning I noticed an unfamiliar wave resting on the shed behind the trap. I quickly potted it and after a bit of research, and the usual resort to AI assistance, I decided it was my first Maiden's Blush.

The blotches confused me as well as the pale colour - but I'm sure the identification is correct.

I also found this handsome micro in the trap - it's Apodia martinii in the book and Apodia bifractella on the sheet, but I understand they are in fact the same species. Also new for the garden.
