Large yellow underwing, Heeswijk-Dinther, Netherlands Tentative ID, as the angle is not great for identification. Named "house mother" in dutch, but I don't know why. It's large and highly variable in appearance. I disturbed it when finding a place in the shade on this very hot day, it landed in these ferns.

    The ferns with the spores showing adds a really nice background. Posted 7 years ago
