Identified as Genista Broom Moth.
That looks very similar, Emma.
Uresiphita sp??
I'm not sure, Emma. I was thinking something in the Crambid family.
J,could this be a Tortrix sp Moth?
There are a few similarities, yet it is not the same blood-red color. I've seen something similar to this, I just cannot recall.
thanks J. isn't there a great similarity between the two? I saw another one today under the sycamore tree.
Hi Emma! I don't think this is the Ruby Tiger Moth, as it is a bit larger: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/128...
