\n\tAll the Moths shown have been recorded in Britain as either migrants or residents.  <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tIMAGES – No:1 & 2  – Feathered Footman – female Spiris striata<\/em> – A striped thorax, wrap-round wings and bright orange underwings are the key ID features. <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tThe males show very striped upper wings but the females upper wing is plain creamy buff. No:3 Black-veined Moth Siona lineata<\/em> – Easily identified by the black veins running through the wings. In Britain found only in Kent. No:4 Four Spotted – Tyta luctuosa<\/em> – In Britain found only on the island of Portland, otherwise suspected immigrant. In Bulgaria common and easily identified by the diagnostic white spots, 2 on the upper-wing on 2 on the hind wings. No:5 Small Argent & Sable – Epirrhoe tristata<\/em> – In Britain this moth is common & well distributed. No:6 Small Grass Emerald – Chlorissa viridata<\/em> – A nationally scarce species in Britain. The gold leading edge to the forewing and single cross-line on hind wing help to ID this moth. No:7 Speckled Yellow – Pseudopanthera macularia<\/em> – Very common in Bulgaria and easily identified. A regular day time moth in Britain. No:8 Spotted Sulphur – Emmelia trabealis<\/em> – A former resident in Britain, now presumed extinct, and a suspected immigrant. An extremely attractive and intricately marked moth an c<\/span>ould easily be mistaken for a micro-moth.<\/span>The patterning & markings are diagnostic.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
