Knot Grass

Hi

I'm in my first year of Mothing so nothing to compare against, however i have purchased a Skinner for the garden and we shall see how it goes. Up to 12 for the year so far but as i understand it this Knot Grass is early. In the trap overnight from Friday 29th March

Hi - further to comments, i've added a couple more shots, i'm pretty sure its a Knot Grass (or i've just made a monkey out myself in my first post but i'm here to learn) - all comments welcome - thanks Lee.

    Hi Lee,

    I think your Knotgrass is actually an Early Grey.

    Best wishes

    Sorry Tris, It is a Knot Grass. The double white crescents and the tiny oval mark are distinctive. Early Grey has a 'flower' or 'rose' shape patch. See UK Moths there is one just like Lees...

    We all are, Tris, there are so many moths, and forms to remember and learn each year. Its great that when mothing we are allowed to make mistakes, its just a pity birding wasnt as tolerant ;)
