Tawny Pinion

Several Tawny Pinion moths have been turning up in moth traps in the south-west of England recently and I myself have had two: 29th March 2014 and 4th April 2014 both of which were trapped using my Skylight trap. This species is best told from the Pale Pinion by the presence of a dark line extending from the inner edge of the forewing and the black abdominal crests.
