Phaiogramma etruscaria
c 25mm (1") wingspan. Close to Little Emerald.... 2 different specimens in the same area but look like the same species, just different lighting angle.
Balcony, attracted from surrounding countryside by light.
I think I found it here: http://lepidopteragallery.org/Phaiogramm... so you were correct, it has been recorded from Spain, further north along the same coast.
Hi Malcom! The two butterflies are very similar. If the following recognition are correct, has been spotted in Spain: http://www.flickr.com/photos/radio_ga_ga...

but I could be wrong...
Hi valentinezza, Phaiogramma etruscaria has never been recorded from Spain so is very unlikely although not impossible.
