Blair's Mocha Cyclophora puppillaria

This is a very rare migrant species in Norfolk but appears a bit more frequently in the south.

The above was the first Blair's Mocha I had caught myself, but the species was one of a number of moths on display at Longstone cafe on Scilly when I visited several years ago, before I had done much moth-trapping myself.
