New Species - Grey Shoulder Knot



I found a moth resting on our back door when returning after a night away. I was bit daunted at first as there seemed to be lots of medium sized grey moths but I have finally identified it as a Grey Shoulder Knot (Lithophane ornitopus). Now I have identified a few moths I am encouraged to get a moth trap and really start on the many moths that inhabit the site.
