Grass moth resting on grass

I'm tempted to identify this as "Crambus lathoniellus", since it occurs so abundantly in this area, yet it does look different from it. More silver, and without the bands. For now I'll leave this one open.

      Thank you, but I think I wasn't clear enough :) I thought you also had a photo of this species and waited for you to identify that one so that you get the species intro. Now, I'm still getting the species intro :) Posted 10 years ago
