Autographa gamma
Small moth with a wingspan of 35 mm. The wings are patterned with various shades of brown and grey providing excellent camouflage. In the centre of each forewing there is a silver-coloured mark shaped like a letter Y or a Greek letter Gamma.
This little one was vibrating its forewings preparing for flight (hence the blurriness on the end of the wings). They were flying by the dozens nearby my lavender plant when I took this photo in the early evening.
