Dotted Footman

A surprise find in my MV trap this morning was a Dotted Footman, presumably a migrant. Sean Clancy tells me they are more or less annual on the South coast with sme years better than others.

On 2mm graph paper shows the wing length to be just over 15mm.

Not overly spotted, still a distinctive moth.
