Hoary Footman, Heesch, Netherlands &quot;Footman&quot; is a fitting name, it&#039;s very leggy, initially I didn&#039;t even recognize it as a moth.<br />
It looks fairly similar to the Scarce Footman (Eilema complana), yet lacks the yellow line along the wings. Furthermore, the dark dot at the thorax is also a key.<br />

Hoary Footman, Heesch, Netherlands

"Footman" is a fitting name, it's very leggy, initially I didn't even recognize it as a moth.
It looks fairly similar to the Scarce Footman (Eilema complana), yet lacks the yellow line along the wings. Furthermore, the dark dot at the thorax is also a key.
