Above is a selection of moths I caught last night. Is Pearly Underwing a common immigrant in North Wales? Also any tips on separating Marbled Carpets would be good :-)

  1. Pearly underwings are not that common Steve, only 12 records on the North Wales Lep database for Anglesey. You're supposed to be able to separate common/dark marbled carpets on underwing pattern but I always find it difficult.
