Beautiful Yellow Underwing
A small reddish-brown moth, with fine black and white markings. Forewing colour varies from pinkish brown and purplish brown to greyish brown or blackish-grey. Similar to the Heath Rustic, but that species has a pale streak along the leading edge of the forewing along with a small, pale oval mark within a black wedge. May sometimes be confused with Beautiful Yellow Underwing. The moth is often seen visiting flowers in bright sunshine.
Heather and Bell Heather, possibly also Cross-leaved Heather.
Associated with heathland, high moorland and possibly gardens, but occasionally found away from breeding sites.
